Today computer education puts an emphasis on algorithm education. There are little researches about how to express the given problem in algorithm and how to interpret the expressed algorithm. In this study play-based learning methods dealing with flow chart which is one of the expressing tools of algorithm are developed for lower graders of elementary school. Then we diagnosed the learning possibility of the tool after applying the methods in a classroom environment. There are four types of learning game activities; sequential play, selective play, repetitive play and puzzle play. Puzzle play is a game that students need to reconstruct the learned content to a real flow chart by using flow chart cards. The result of an achievement test after teaching students flow chart showed that the group who took the play-based lesson got their average score with about 7.5% higher than the group who took the ICT-based lesson. Both the groups got their average scroe of more than 9 out of 10 after the lesson. This result shows that flow chart lessons are adaptable for the lower graders of elementary school. It also shows that play-based education can be exceptionally effective.

In this study, we analyzed elementary school teachers' self-diagnosis on their competency for assessment in science. A questionnaire was administered to 217 elementary school teachers and in-depth group interviews with 6 teachers were also conducted. The results revealed that the mean scores of five subcategories, 'choosing assessment methods', 'developing assessment instruments', 'administering, scoring, and grading', 'analyzing, interpreting, using, and communicating assessment results', and 'recognizing ethics in assessment', were 3.82, 3.50, 3.92, 3.76, and 4.09 on a scale of 5 points, respectively. Teachers having more teaching experience showed higher mean scores in all subcategories. However, only the teachers having more than 20 years of teaching experience were statistically better than those having less than 5 years of teaching experience in four subcategories except for 'recognizing ethics in assessment'. There were no significant differences in terms of major, whereas the mean scores of the teachers having master's degree were statistically higher than their counterpart in some subcategories. In addition, the teachers who had completed training for assessment exhibited statistically higher mean scores than their counterpart in four subcategories except for 'recognizing ethics in assessment'. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.

This study is based on the grade 3 National Diagnostic Assessment of Basic Competency(NDABC) in 2005. The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of NDABC by students' gender. It was 19,257 grade 3 students that participated in this study. The average scores are 89.41 and 88.34 for each male and female. The percentage of Below-Basic level for male students is 4.6% and for female 5.6%. The percentage of female students at Below-Basic level is increasing for 3 years. In particular, the percentage of females at Below-Basic level is higher than that of males in the content of measurement, the cognitive domain of reasoning and problem solving, and the situation of real life. The item difficulty for males is lower in fraction, polygon, and right triangle than for females. But female students need to improve the space sense and the problem solving ability in real life. As for the background of students, males think that mathematics is exciting and not difficult in comparison with what females think. And parents of mates are more concerned about children's learning than those of females.

In In the era of digital transition, AI-based personalized services are emerging in the field of education. This research aims to examine the development strategies for implementing AI-based learning services in school. Focusing on AI-based math learning service "Math Cell" developed by i-Scream Edu, this study surveyed the functional requirements from the perspective of an educator. The results were analyzed for importance and suitability using IPA, and expert opinions were surveyed to explore specific development directions for the service. Consequently, importance in all areas such as diagnosis, learning, evaluation, and management averaged 4.82 and performance averaged 4.56, showing excellent results in most questions, and in particular, importance was higher than performance. Among certain detailed functions, concept learning, customized task presentation, evaluation result analysis function, dashboard-related functions, and learning materials in the dashboard were not intuitive for students to understand and had to be supplemented. This study provides meaningful insights by summarizing expert opinions on AI-based personalized mathematics learning services, thereby contributing to the exploration of the development strategies for "Math Cell".

Recently, as the importance of the information communication ethics education has increased, the research about new instructional method or contents have been progressed actively. On the other hand, due to the advance of e-learning technology, instead of teacher-centered instruction, the development of learning contents and learning method for satisfying students' requirements is proceeded actively. In this paper, in order to increase the learning effect for information communication ethics education for primary school students, we propose a new way to design an instruction which considers the characteristics and the requirements of students. We decompose instructional design features into 4 components such as goal, model, contents, and media, and then we pose questionnaire to the 5th grade students of a primary school. After that, we analyze data by using the conjoint analysis. Based on the result of the conjoint analysis, we give instructions to two classes in order to compare the learning achievement of the two classes. Finally, by evaluating the students and analyzing their satisfaction levels, we diagnose the effectiveness of the proposed method.
