Through the 2015 Revised Curriculum, programming education is introduced into the elementary school regular curriculum as part of the software education. Effective teaching & learning methods can be presented through an analysis of the effects of programming education on the problem-solving abilities. In this paper, students were divided into two groups according to their academic achievement, a learning program was developed for five times of implementation using the entry and the sensor board for the entry, and classes to which it was applied were conducted. Before and after the classes, a problem-solving test tool was used to measure and analyze the changes in Gamma waves and EEG concentration indicators. As a result, the gamma waves and the concentration indices of the students in the group with high academic achievement showed a tendency to be improved through the programming lessons, and those of the students in the group with poor academic achievement showed no such tendency. Through this, the necessity of the level-specific programming education in consideration of students' academic abilities was suggested.

Due to COVID-19, most schools are conducting online learning. In this study, a total of 12 block-type educational programming tool classes were conducted in the form of online learning for 6th grade elementary school students, and then quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed students' perceptions of their learning experience on entry learning. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the learner easily recognized the use of the entry program and the difficulty of learning contents, and the learning satisfaction was high. When students face difficulties, it was found that they received the most help from the hint function provided by the site itself, and they were found to be less aware of the necessity of teachers when learning entry. As a result of the qualitative analysis, it was found that the learner felt a lot of novelty and fun through easy and simple operation. On the other hand, it was found that the learning contents and hints were not understood, which made them difficult and felt that the hint contents were insufficient. It was found that students felt a sense of accomplishment by creating and manipulating programs as they wish.

기존의 프로그래밍 교육용 프로그램(스크래치, 엔트리)들은 프로그래밍의 진입장벽을 낮춰 교육의 효율을 높일 수 있었다[1][2]. 하지만 그러한 접근 방식은 실용적인 프로그래밍에 대한 지표가 되기에는 좋지 않다. 우리는 교육용 프로그램으로 게임메이커 스튜디오(이하 GM:S)를 사용하는 것을 제안 하고, 기존 지표의 단점을 풍부한 스크립팅 API와 네이티브 라이브러리 링크 등으로 극복한 GM:S를 교육적 목적으로 사용하는 방법에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

To determine the educational effects of writing to describe using Entry, block-based programming language, we instructed first year students at the national university of education on these activities for four weeks and analyzed the changes in their writing perception and attitude, ability of descriptive writing, computational thinking and learner's competencies. As a result, writing to describe using Entry did not affect students' writing perception and attitude change. However, the experimented students who wrote to describe using Entry became acquainted with the way of writing to describe, and improved their ability to describe objects. In addition, the computational thinking and critical thinking improved. Based on these results, it is hopped to be used as a basic material for expanding the education of descriptive writing using programming languages.

본 논문에서는 초동학생의 기초 알고리즘 개념 습득 및 프로그래밍 능력 함양을 위한 순서도 적용 방안을 제안한다. 컴퓨팅 사고력 함양을 위해서는 프로그래밍 전에 알고리즘을 설계하는 단계가 포함되어야 하며, 초등학생의 프로그래밍 교육은 블록형 프로그래밍 언어를 사용할 것을 권장한다. 알고리즘 설계에 순서도를 활용하는 것이 효과적이나, 블록형 프로그래밍 언어의 특성상 순서도의 기본 기호로만 블록을 표현하기에는 어려운 부분이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 반복구조와 선택구조를 중심으로 블록을 순서도로 표현하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

There is a great deal of effort to improve Computational Thinking in education. In this paper, we define the relationship between SW capability and Computational Thinking, and then examine the current status of pre-service teacher's computing thinking. For this purpose, a survey about the attitude toward SW education and computing thinking was administered to prospective teachers who learned Entry software for one semester. The results of the survey showed that the improvement of abstraction, data analysis, and automation among the pre-service teacher's computing thinking is needed. When educating preliminary teachers, we can see that we need an education method that can increase the analysis and design capability beyond the Entry Software development tool.

2015 개정 교육과정에 따라 2019년 3월부터 초등학교 5~6학년 학생을 대상으로 소프트웨어 교육이 실시된다. 궁극적인 소프트웨어 교육의 목표는 컴퓨팅 사고력을 갖춘 창의 융합형 인재를 양성하는 것이다. 이를 위해 초등학교에서는 알고리즘과 프로그래밍의 체험을 통해 소프트웨어 기초 소양을 함양하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 컴퓨팅 사고력을 수업에 효과적으로 적용하기 위해 전용주(2017)는 소프트웨어 및 컴퓨팅에 관련된 사고과정과 원리를 실생활의 소재와 관련지어 창의적이고 능동적으로 그 해결방안을 구현해가는 과정으로 제시할 수 있는 수업 구성 원리인 CT-CPS 수업 모형을 개발하였다. 또한 교육부는 2015 개정 교육과정 실시 전, 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 선도학교를 전국에 지정하여 운영하였다. 선도학교에서의 소프트웨어 교육과정을 분석한 결과 주로 컴퓨팅 사고력의 구성요소 중 알고리즘과 자동화에 초점이 맞춰져 있었다. 엔트리와 스크래치와 같은 블록 프로그래밍 도구를 사용한 코딩교육과 로봇교육을 주로 실시했고, 실제 문제에 대한 학생들이 자료를 직접 다루는 시간은 찾아보기 힘들었다. 컴퓨팅사고력 향상을 위해서는 학생들이 실제 자료를 수집, 분석, 표현해보는 활동이 반드시 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서 NetsBlox을 활용하고자 한다. NetsBlox는 학생들에게 익숙한 블록형 프로그래밍 도구로 실제 데이터를 온라인상에서 쉽게 받아와서 수집, 분석, 표현을 하게 도와주는 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학생을 위한 NetsBlox를 활용한 CT-CPS기반 프로그래밍 수업을 설계하고자 한다.

In order to provide basic data necessary for developing a curriculum to enhance SW education for elementary school teacher students, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 1,260 students at G National University of Education. The results are summarized as follows. First, it is necessary to improve class time of SW education for the college students and revise the SW curriculum to improve SW education capacity for teacher students. Second, in the liberal arts course, it is necessary to develop the teaching and learning materials and the textbooks using various software. Third, in the major course, the Subject Pedagogy programs should be expanded rather than the subject content programs. Fourth, in the specialization course, the programming language education focusing on the Entry and EPL should be strengthened so that it can be linked with the elementary school curriculum. In addition, it is necessary to expand the choice of subjects for the students by reducing the number of required courses and increasing the number of elective courses.

SW 교육에 있어서 입문자의 흥미를 유발하고자 블록 기반인 스크래치와 엔트리가 도입되었고 많은 교육 기관에서는 이후 ARDUINO, C, JAVA, PYTHON 등을 선택 교육하고 있다. 이 과정에서 코딩보다는 사고력을 강조하며 정보 교과 내에서 문법 공부하는 것을 기피하는 풍토를 보인다. 이러한 점은 2015 개정 교육과정 지침에서 특정 언어의 기능습득에 치우치지 않고 학습자의 수준에 맞추어 적절한 도구를 선택하도록 하여 사실상 교수자의 재량에 두고 있는 점에서도 파악할 수 있다. 코딩의 문법학습을 피하는 경향은 코딩교육 도입 초기의 취지와는 다르게 공교육 내에서의 코딩교육의 활성화에 부정적 요소로 작용할 여지가 크다고 우려된다. 따라서 현재 출판된 정보 교과서에서 다루는 프로그래밍 언어의 종류를 조사하고 코딩 문법학습을 최소화를 할 수 있으며 블록코딩에서 텍스트 코딩으로 전환 시 학습자의 부담을 감소할 수단으로 PROCESSING를 통한 과정을 제안하는 바이다.

In Korea, software education is implemented from elementary school. As a representative software education tool for elementary schools, various chess games reconstructed based on the rules of Western chess games are being used. On the other hand, Yutnori, one of our traditional games, also includes elements of software education, so research on this is needed. Therefore, in this study, a Yutnori program based on computational thinking using an educational programming language, Entry, and a turtle robot was developed and its validity verified. As a result of the validity verification, the CVR value was higher than 0.7 in the degree of agreement with the subject achievement standard (3 questions), the appropriateness of learning materials (4 questions), and the possibility of class application (3 questions). Therefore, it could be judged that the learning program developed in this study has a high level of agreement with the subject achievement standards, appropriate learning materials, and high possibility of being applied to classes. In order to generalize this content in the future, the effectiveness will need to be verified, and experimental research will be needed to understand this.
