The Code Block Based Educational Programming Language(EPL) is the mainstream tool for software education for elementary students. However, Code Block Based EPL has limitations in scalability, even though there are many advantages as an introductory tool for software education. In this study, we searched the approach of SW education using Python, which is a text-based programming language actively used in real industrial field. We developed a learning program and model using Python and applied it to the sixth grade elementary school students for 10 hours. As a result, we found that the robot-based Python learning model had a significant effect on improving students' thinking skills and confirmed the applicability of text-based programming language to elementary school students.

Python language is widely used because of its ease of learning and its wide application range. Arduino, on the other hand, is also widely utilized hardware for physical computing and internet of things(IoT). However, Arduino is controlled by $C{^+^+}$ language, which makes it difficult for non-experts to enter swiftly. This paper proposes an errorless protocol that can simultaneously control multiple Arduino devices in a master device using python language with I2C communication. Using the protocol proposed in this paper, we can take advantage of the python language to control multiple Arduinos.

In this study, we analyzed the effects of data visualization education with using Python on the improvement of computing thinking ability of the 6th grade students of elementary school. Based on the results of the needs analysis of 60 elementary school teachers and 120 elementary school students, we developed the data visualization education program. In the developed educational program, 24 elementary school students were trained for 6 days and 36 hours in total. Thereafter, students were subjected to pre- and post-comparison tests. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the data visualization education with using Python is effective in improving the Computational cognition, Fluency, Originality, Elaboration of the 6th grade students in elementary school.

There are various programming errors that occur in the course of programming practice for beginners in computer programming. At this time, since it is difficult for learners to recognize errors by themselves, they correct program errors through the instructor's feedback. However, as students learn programming techniques in an online learning environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a limit to interaction between the students and the instructor in comparison with offline classes, so it is necessary for learners to develop their own ability to solve programming errors by themselves. Therefore, in this study, error cases in online programming classes using the Python language are analyzed and an online programming education method that can improve learners' ability to correct programming errors is proposed based on the analysis results.

In this paper, we present an automatic image object tracking system for Studio cameras on the stage. For object tracking, we use the OpenCV-based Python program using PC, Raspberry Pi 3 and mobile devices. There are many methods of image object tracking such as mean-shift, CAMshift (Continuously Adaptive Mean shift), background modelling using GMM(Gaussian mixture model), template based detection using SURF(Speeded up robust features), CMT(Consensus-based Matching and Tracking) and TLD methods. CAMshift algorithm is very efficient for real-time tracking because of its fast and robust performance. However, in this paper, we implement an image object tracking system for studio cameras based CMT algorithm. This is an optimal image tracking method because of combination of static and adaptive correspondences. The proposed system can be applied to an effective and robust image tracking system for continuous object tracking on the stage in real time.

This paper describes the implementation of Direct3D interface library for Python language. DirectX is the most popular library used for 3D games and 3D modelings. However, softwares which use the library can only be developed in the environments provided by Microsoft like Visual Studios and .NET framework. The interface module for Python, this paper presents, will extend the coverage of the useful library DirectX to a language which is not fully supported by Microsoft. The interface techniques described here can be a guide to develop interface modules for other languages too, which make their language more powerful and extensible. This paper describes the implementation techniques to develop the interface module for Python, advantages and disadvantages.

Modern society has evolved to such an extent that computing technology has become an integral part of various fields, creating new and superior value to society. Education on computer literacy, including the ability to design and build software, is now becoming a universal education that must be acquired by everyone, regardless of the field of study. Many universities are imparting software education to students to improve their problem-solving ability, including to students who are not majoring in computers. However, software education contains courses that are meant for computer majors and many students encounter difficulty in learning the grammar of programming language. To solve this problem, this paper analyzes the research outcomes of the existing software education model and proposes a Python-based software education model for students who are not majoring in computer science. Along with a Python-based software education model, this paper proposed a curriculum that can be applied during one semester, including learning procedures, and teaching strategies. This curriculum was applied to a liberal arts class and a meaningful result was derived. If the proposed software education model is applied, the students will be interested in the computer literacy class and improve their computational thinking and problem-solving ability.

This study introduces a development of calculus contents which makes to understand the main concepts of calculus in a short period of time and to enhance problem solving and computational thinking for complex problems encountered in the real world for college freshmen with diverse backgrounds. As a concrete measure, we developed 'Teaching and Learning' contents and Python-based code for Calculus I and II which was used in actual classroom. In other words, the entire process of teaching and learning, action plan, and evaluation method for calculus class with Python based coding are reported and shared. In anytime and anywhere, our students were able to freely practice and effectively exercise calculus problems. By using the given code, students could gain meaningful understanding of calculus contents and were able to expand their computational thinking skills. In addition, we share a way that it motivated student activities, and evaluated students fairly based on data which they generated, but still instructor's work load is less than before. Therefore, it can be a teaching and learning model for college mathematics which shows a possibility to cover calculus concepts and computational thinking at once in a innovative way for the 21st century.

This paper aims to present the physical computing learning model applicable in teaching the information and communication technology for technology and engineering education. This model is based on the physical computing and deals with the information creation and information transfer in one framework, thus provides students with the total understanding and practice opportunity about information and communication. The proposed learning models are classified into the client-server based model and the web based model. In the implemented learning model, the acquirement and control of information is performed by sketch on Arduino and the communication of information is performed by the Python socket on Raspberry Pi well known as an education platform. Our proposed learning model can be used for teaching students to understand the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), which provides us with world wide control and communication of information.
