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, a science museum teaching-learning model was developed with emphasis on play. In order to do this, the models of factor-centered museum education and process-centered museum education were reviewed and characteristics of science museum education were considered. The model developed in this study is called 'Play-Learning Model in Science Museum', and 'play' is defined as activities to achieve the mission in accordance with methods and rules set by individuals or small groups including scaffolding and play is divided into competition, simulation, and chance. 'Play-Learning Model in Science Museum' emphasizes learning using the articles on exhibition, scaffolding and interaction in small groups, and play. The model consists of four steps: 'Preparation', 'Exploring the exhibits', 'Experience', and 'Summary of learning content'. In the 'Preparation' step, the students form related knowledge and are ready to play. The 'Exploring the exhibits' step is the core step of this model, and entails the students solving problems in the mission by interacting with members of the small group. When they cannot find resolution, they get help. In the 'Experience' step, hands-on activities related to the prior step are included. In the 'Summary of learning content' step, the students summarize what they learned while playing. As science museum education is implemented in a variety of forms, continuous research about the science museum learning model and development of various programs are needed.

Along with the development of information and communication technology, smart education that can learn without restrictions of time, place and equipment is activated even in the field of education. Although smart education is provided with content-based training solutions, construction of a system that grasps individual characteristics of learners and provides personalized learning is relatively weak. The activity of free choice is an important play activity of early childhood education, but it is not implemented efficiently by relying on the clinical observation of the teacher. If the IoT(Internet of Things) technology based on Hyper-Connected is applied to free-choice activities, it is possible to provide the child's personalized activity type and play-form analysis based on objective and stylized data. In this paper, we design and implement a system to monitor the child's activity of free choice by building an IoT environment that is based on open source hardware. The proposed system provides children's activity information as objective data and will be used as teacher's work mitigation and custom training material for each child.

The purpose of this study is to develop contents and an instructional model that support children's dramatic play by integrating the robot and augmented reality technology. In order to support the dramatic play, the robot shows various facial expressions and actions, serves as a narrator and a sound manager, supports the simultaneous interaction by using the camera and recognizing the markers and children's motions, records children's activities as a photo and a video that can be used for further activities. The robot also uses a projector to allow children to directly interact with the video object. On the other hand, augmented reality offers a variety of character changes and props, and allows various effects of background and foreground. Also it allows natural interaction between the contents and children through the real-type interface, and provides the opportunities for the interaction between actors and audiences. Along with these, augmented reality provides an experience-based learning environment that induces a sensory immersion by allowing children to manipulate or choose the learning situation and experience the results. In addition, the instructional model supporting dramatic play consists of 4 stages(i.e., teachers' preparation, introducing and understanding a story, action plan and play, evaluation and wrapping up). At each stage, detailed activities to decide or proceed are suggested.

웹을 기반으로 하는 e-러닝에 대한 교육적 수요는 증가하고 있다. 이와 동시에, 학습 공간으로서의 사이버 공간의 활용에 대한 고민도 증가하였다. 전통적인 학습활동을 사이버 공간에 복제하려 했던 고전적 방식이 e-러닝 또는 사이버 학습이 아니라는 사실을 확인하기 시작했기 때문이다. e-러닝의 가치가 강조됨에도 불구하고, 실제 사이버 공간에서 일어나는 학습자의 특성과 학습활동이 구체적으로 어떻게 일어나는 지에 대한 탐색은 미흡하다. 산재한 정보를 스스로 가공한 지식, '학습하는 방법을 학습'하는 것이라는 개념들이 제시됨에도 불구하고, 사이버 공간에 산재한 정보, 학습하는 방법의 학습, 그리고 사이버 공간의 학습특성에 대한 논란은 여전하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 사이버 학습 사이트를 이용하고 있는 학습자들의 행동을 중심으로, 학습자의 특성을 탐색하였다. 사이버 공간에서 보이는 스스로 학습하는 방법이 무엇인지 확인하고 이것이 다양한 학습자 유형으로 구분되는 지를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구대상이 된 사이버 학습 사이트는 서울, 부산, 대구, 광주 교육청에서 운영하는 사이버 가정 학습관이었다. 총 1535명의 사이버 가정 학습관 이용자들의 특성이 분석되었다. 사이버 가정학습관 이용자들의 행동특성은 9개의 요인-놀이 활동, 공동 경험, 현실 정체, 공동 성취, 개인주의, 경쟁 지향, 성취감, 편리성(조작 용이), 생생함-으로 구분되었다. 9개의 활동 요인을 기준으로 하여 확인된 학습자 유형은 4가지로 나타났다. 4가지 학습자 유형은 각각 독야청청형, 동고동락형, 의무방어형, 희희낙낙형으로 명명되었다. 이들 유형은 학습 활동 정도 및 사이트 이용 행동, 학습 스타일(사이버 학습 활동 양식)에서 서로 차이가 있었다. 본 연구는 기존의 이론적인 모델에 기초하여 임의적으로 구분된 사이버 학습자 유형 구분이 아닌, 실제 학습 활동을 탐색하였다는 측면에서 의미가 있다. 특히, 기존의 오프라인 학습 이론 및 학습자 특성 연구를 사이버 학습에 그대로 적용할 것이 아니라 사이버 공간의 특성이 실제 학습 활동에서 어떻게 나타났는지를 밝히려고 했다는데 그 의의가 있다. 향후, 사이버 학습자 유형에 따른, 사이버 학습활동의 촉진방안이나 학습 효과의 차이를 높일 수 있는 구체적인 학습 시스템의 설계 및 운영 모델에 대한 탐색이 필요할 것이다.

According to the revised guideline for information & communication technology, algorithm has to be dealt with the learning contents from elementary school, so now it needs to study various educational methods for students to learn algorithm easily and effectively. In this study, after selecting sort algorithms as the content of learning, which is recognized as an important part of algorithm, an playing activity-based algorithm teaching method and an animation-based algorithm learning and teaching method were applied for the lower graders of an elementary school. Sorting algorithm education is adopted in two different ways, then we got two conclusions after analyzing the results of a specially designed achievement test and the questionnaire. First, there were not great differences in both educational methods in academic achievement, but it was clear that the lower grade elementary students can learn algorithm with ease. Second, the playing activity-centered algorithm education is more effective than animation-based education in improving students' comprehension, interest and satisfaction.

In line with the modern society where artificial intelligence has spread throughout society, the Ministry of Education decided to provide AI education in kindergartens, elementary, middle and high school classes in 2025, and develop related learning materials and textbooks from 2021. Korea currently does not have state-led AI education for kindergarten and elementary school, so there is no systematic teaching material. Therefore, this study designed and presented textbooks for pattern analysis-based computational thinking development based on the GPS curriculum, a kindergarten SW curriculum studied by Y. S. Jeong and S. E. Lim (2020). Class procedures for using the textbooks were classified as introduction activities, development activities, and organization activities. Supplementary explanations were presented by presenting textbooks and teaching aids along with explanations of each activity. In order for this study to help AI education conducted in 2025, research must be conducted to demonstrate its effectiveness through actual application in the future.

Recently, with the development of digital, children are exposed to a lot of media media. Reading activity decreases, making it difficult to acquire information from books or organize and remember acquired information. Since education with augmented reality increases children's participation and immersion in learning, we proposed a reading activity application with augmented reality technology to increase children's reading interest and creativity. In addition, based on the five nurturing processes, we designed a play-oriented reading activity for the application. In addition to the application suggestions, we designed a play-centered lesson model so that it can be used in actual lessons. In order to analyze the conceptual thinking framework according to the lesson model design, we visited an actual daycare center and conducted a class attended by an expert. Experts who participated were asked to fill out a pre-produced questionnaire to review the suitability of the reading activity class model and operation, and the feasibility was examined. Our lesson model design was based on limited book content, and due to ethical concerns, large-scale experiments with children could not be conducted, so the results of the study are not representative of the whole. However, it is significant that the possibility of running a new reading activity class based on the Nuri course has been examined and proposed.
