This study is about development and application of a curriculum to implement physical computing education in an online environment for pre-service teachers. First, a 15-week software and physical computing curriculum was designed according to the ADDIE instructional design model. As a tool that can be used online, education was conducted on a program using various sensors using Pocket Code, an EPL based on a smartphone. As a result of the application of the program, Personal efficacy, Pedagogical knowledge, Technology teaching content knowledge, Result expectation, and Student belief were all significantly improved. In the software attitude part, Software interest and Software value part increased significantly, and the Perception of software engineers did not change. In general, in the case of physical computing, it is difficult to execute in an online environment because it involves a lot of manipulation activity. Through various studies that can continue education in a non-face-to-face environment or a blended environment in the post-corona era, it is hoped that it will be possible to provide a high-quality curriculum to pre-service teachers in charge of future education.

Major countries in the world have established strategies for educating about artificial intelligence(AI) and with large investments are actively implementing these strategies. With this trend, domestic ministries have made efforts to establish national strategies to better educate students about AI. This paper presents the syllabus of AI classrooms which has been developed and presented to pre-service and in-service elementary school teachers for their use. In addition, the AI education tools they particularly preferred and their future plans for utilizing them in the elementary school classroom were investigated. Through this study, it was found that pre-service and in-service elementary school teachers strongly prefer lectures about AI education tools that can be immediately applied in the classroom, rather than learning about the theoretical basis of AI. At issue, however, is that the ability to utilize AI is usually based on a sufficient understanding of the theory. Thus, this paper suggests further study to identify better pedagogical practices to improve students' understanding the theoretical basis of AI.

As a result of introducing robot assisted learning which utilizes social robots or telepresence robots in language learning or special education, research on technology acceptance model for robot-assisted learning is also being conducted. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model of intelligent robot has been studied, but of tele-operated robot is insufficient. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the UTAUT model by pre-service teachers who experienced telepresence robot-assisted learning that can be done in future school. It is found that the estimated UTAUT model consists of more concise factors than social robots, and the importance of perceived enjoyment is higher. In other words, the pre-service teachers showed significant acceptance of tele-operated robots with enhanced enjoyment composed of its mobility, communication, and touchable appearance of the face and body.

The purpose of this study is to develop an effective teaching model for the "Problem solving methods and procedures" section in the revised academic high school informatics curriculum, verify its effectiveness, make the subject more effective and appealing to teachers as well as students. The model includes a middle school level informatics curriculum for the students who have yet to learn the section. This development follows the ADDIE model, and the Python programming language is adopted for the model. Using the model, classes were conducted with two groups: high school computer club students and undergraduate students majoring in computer education. Of the undergraduate students 75% responded positively to the model. This model was applied in the actual high school classroom teaching for 23 class-hours in the spring semester 2012. The Pearson correlation coefficient that verifies the correspondence between the PSI score and the informatics midterm exam grade is .247, which reflects a weak positive correlation. The result of the study showed that the developed teaching model is an effective tool in educating students about the "problem solving methods and procedures". The model is to be a cornerstone of teaching/learning plans for informatics at academic high school as well as training materials for pre-service teachers.

통합교육의 실시와 다문화 가정의 자녀 증가 등으로 학교 교실의 구성원들이 다양화 되고 있다. 그러나 제한적인 매체와 전통적인 교육과정, 교수방법 및 평가 등의 사용으로 학습자들의 다양성을 고려되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 디지털화 교수매체의 활용함으로써 다양한 학습자들의 정보에 대한 접근성을 보장해 주고 나아가 교육현장에서 보편적 학습설계(Universal Design for Learning: UDL)를 적용하여 학습자의 다양성을 보장하는데 그 목적을 둔다. 교육현장에 UDL 적용에 대한 예비교사와 현직교사의 그룹 토론을 통해, UDL의 적용가능성과 적용함에 있어서 어려움을 알아보았다. 그 결과, 정해진 교육과정과 교재, 다양한 학습자에 대한 교사의 전문성 부족, 학생들 간의 학습 차이, 학급당 많은 학생수, 교사의 많은 업무량 등 여러 가지 문제점으로 UDL 적용이 어렵다고 하였다. 해결방안으로 교수설계에 UDL의 적용과 다양한 디지털화 교수매체의 활용으로 접근성 보장을 제안하였다. 교육현장에서의 UDL 확대와 다양한 학습자들의 접근성이 보장된 교육을 할 수 있도록 교사들이 수업에서의 UDL 적용 방안에 대해 제시하였다.

This study aims to present the relationship between the teachers' information needs regarding guidance and the perception of educational guidelines issued by the Office of Education. The research design was conducted based on the reviewing theoretical background studies, and questionnaires were found in in-depth semi-structured interviews in a pilot study. Gyeonggi Province is divided into four regions, which is the target of the survey. Teachers of three schools in each region were surveyed, and eventually 217 copies of the survey were used for the final analysis. The result shows that the role of school libraries in caring for teachers' information needs ultimately influences the improvement of teachers' guidance. Based on this result, the study suggests ways to improve information services provided by school libraries. In particular, the study is meaningful in that it has presented a potential service plan that can be performed by school libraries to help address teachers' information needs about guidance in schools.

It is urgent in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution that students become creative and integrative thinkers. In this vein, in the last few years, drawing upon constructivism as an innovative learning paradigm, new coding curricula using MIT's Scratch have been introduced in the number of countries to enhance computational thinking (CT). However, constructivism encouraging collaborative and active learning may not be explicitly utilized in instructional design focusing mainly on learning to code as technical skills - some of which exist today in large numbers of school and after-school code activities. To respond to such a misleading way of developing CT through coding, the present study aims to propose the benefits of CT self-assessment rubrics for primary pre-service teachers within a CT course entitled "Problem Solving by Computational Thinking". Our findings show how meaningful collaborative CT self-assessment in a group impacts their learning of CT. We end this paper with the discussion of implications of our findings for CT assessment towards a new paradigm in education.

Educating qualified elementary school teachers depends on excellent pre-service education. The high quality of education is accomplished by various interactions between teachers and learners, as well as active participation by students. In the present study, online problem-based learning and an e-portfolio were used to examine the effect on the computer-curriculum education to reflect social and individual needs, and to enhance the quality of instruction at universities. Students (n=105) participated in six different problem-based learning sessions. At the same time, they developed Blog e-portfolios as individual and group products, and wrote reflective journals that focused on their learning processes and results. A qualitative analysis method was employed to analyze the reflective journals. The results of the analyses showed the following: 1) Increasing the understanding of the computer-curriculum education, 2) enhancing students' competence in using ICT potentially, 3) cultivating student-centered teaching and learning strategies on ICT, and 4) enhancing competence of future teaching activities through experiencing e-portfolio as a performance-assessment tool.

The PCK of teachers about informatics subject, which is viewed as one of required subjects in today's information society, is linked to what and how to teach, and that is very significant in terms of academic education. However, there are currently no efforts to develop items geared toward evaluating the PCK of teachers about informatics subject or to make a factor analysis of those items, though the importance of that subject in information society has been discussed. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an instrument to size up the PCK of preservice elementary teachers about informatics subject. The finalized instrument consisted of 39 items regarding five factors that involved knowledge of curriculum, knowledge of expression, knowledge of content, knowledge of evaluation and knowledge of teaching methods.
