In the COVID-19 situation, digital textbooks have been used in many schools. In order for digital textbooks to become active even in the post COVID-19 era, the functions of digital textbooks must be improved. Digital textbooks are traditional book-type textbooks with glossaries, video materials, and evaluation questions added. Recently, they are being used usefully for practical education by providing realistic contents such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and 360 images. Therefore, in this study, in order to prepare for the post COVID-19, we found the functional problems of digital textbooks and suggested a way to improve them. First, the layout of digital textbooks should be developed as a responsive layout, deviating from the same form as a book-type textbook. Second, digital textbooks and learning management systems must be integrated. Third, by developing a digital textbook for teachers, teachers should be able to directly reorganize the contents or add external materials. Fourth, learning analysis should be possible using data recorded in digital textbooks. Fifth, in the 2022 revised curriculum, various subjects should be developed as digital textbooks.

The "Information and Communication Technology Education Guidelines" was revised in December, 2005. However, students are still not taught the contents in the "Information and Communication Technology Education Guidelines Rev." and are not taught the contents in the "Understanding of the Information Processing" area among them in particular. Therefore, we analyzed the contents in the "Understanding of the Information Processing" area of the elementary ICT textbooks published on and after June 2006. In the result, the contents of many textbooks are not based on the "Information and Communication Technology Education Revised Guidelines" and programming languages using elementary school are too many. The revision of the elementary ICT textbooks must be settled without delay and the certification systems of elementary ICT textbooks must be improved.

Informatics textbooks for elementary school students have been developed by cities, provinces, and private publishers respectively, and instructional objectives differ depending on the textbook selected by each school. Therefore, discussion on the analysis of instructional objectives is highly needed. The purpose of this study is to develop standards of instructional objectives for Informatics textbooks in elementary school based on the analysis of instructional objectives. To do so, first, an analysis frame was made based on preceding studies for instructional objectives. Second, instructional objectives of current Informatics textbooks were analyzed. Finally, standards of instructional objectives were developed applying Delphi method. It is expected that the standards of instructional objectives suggested here will be referred to as a guideline for developing the curricula and textbooks for Informatics subject in elementary school and to contribute to the normalization of production for qualified textbooks and education in Informatics subject in the future.

In order to improve the quality of textbooks, this study analyzed seven informatics textbooks published based on the 2015 revised curriculum. Content analysis was used to analyze the organization system of these textbooks. Learning objectives of the textbooks were also analyzed according to Anderson's taxonomy of educational objectives. Furthermore, a textbook satisfaction survey, in which textbook selection criteria were applied, was given out to preliminary teachers. The results showed that the textbooks were similarly organized, centered on practice, activities, differentiated learning, and small group learning. However, the number of pages varies considerably for each chapter. After analyzing learning objectives of the textbooks, it was found that in terms of cognitive processes, 'understanding' (53%) was the highest item and 'analyzing' (16%) the second highest; in terms of type of knowledge, 'conceptual' (42%) and 'procedural' (31%) accounted for the two highest categories; in terms of cognitive domains, there has been a significant increase in 'analyzing' and 'creating' facets for learning objectives of these new versions of textbooks as compared to those of previously existed textbooks. In the satisfaction survey on a 5-point Likert scale, 'the accuracy and fairness of the content' had the highest points at 4.21 among four scale items. In this study, the improvement of the textbook is proposed based on the findings from this analysis.

Digital transformation is taking place rapidly around the world. As the development of digital technology becomes very fast, more information is expected to be digitized. Therefore, the possibility of cyber threats is increasing in transmitting and storing sensitive information such as personal and financial information online. In this paper, we compared and analyzed information security textbooks for elementary and secondary school students in China, where the recent development of artificial intelligence and digital transformation are rapidly occurring. After we collected related textbooks, textbooks suitable for analysis were selected. Then, we analyzed the external and internal systems of the textbooks separately. As a result of the external system analysis, all the textbook covers were properly produced, but the quality difference was significant among textbooks. In the case of textbooks for elementary school students, the excellence of layout and content placement was noticed. On the other hand, due to the internal system analysis, various contents were not included evenly when looking at the learning contents based on the "information society responsibility" learning goals presented in China. Through this paper, we hope to provide implications for information security-related education and textbook development research.

All the informatics textbooks of the fifth, sixth, seventh and revised curriculums have dealt with the structure and operation of information equipment. But there haven't been any discussions at all on the educational nature of this section involving the selection of what and how to teach. The purpose of this study was to examine 'the structure and operation of information equipment' sections of informatics textbooks from a perspective of modern curriculum to see whether there was any inquiry tendency in the textbooks. As a result of analyzing four textbooks, only one textbook turned out to be inquisitive. The findings of the study suggest that the importance of textbook content and the perspective of learning activities should be taken seriously when textbooks are produced, and the fact that in today's age marked by a global tend of fusion, informatics is one of the fundamental subjects to encourage students to examine themselves instead of just sticking to rote learning should be taken into consideration as well.

Digital therapy has emerged as a novel treatment modality, propelled by advancements in information and communication technology. In the last five years, there has been a substantial surge in research publications addressing digital therapeutics (DTx) interventions, signaling a sustained upward trajectory in this field. The dynamic nature of computer science, marked by continuous innovation and development, underscores the need for agile adaptation to rapid changes. Consequently, computer science education is compelled to offer students insights into the latest trends. This research endeavors to contribute to the evolving landscape by developing textbooks that impart knowledge about DTx, an integration of information technology. The study focuses on the application of these textbooks to elementary and middle school students in South Korea. The instructional materials have been carefully organized to enable students to learn about the principle of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) DTx at the elementary level and the DTx that can prevent and address the digital drama at the middle school level. Based on the application of the textbook, students who received instruction using the textbook showed statistically significant improvements in all subcategories of creative problem-solving ability, including idea modification, visualization, task focus, analogy, idea generation, and elaboration (p<.01). Additionally, there were statistically significant changes in students' self-efficacy before and after using the textbook, with negative efficacy decreasing, and positive efficacy and social efficacy increasing (p<.001).

In this research, one common chapter, Problem Solving and Programming, in seven different types of high school informatics textbooks was analyzed in terms of the aspect of learners' explorations. These textbooks were newly developed based on the 2015 revised national curriculum. Romey's analysis was used to the textbooks along with four analytic elements: texts, data, activities, and evaluation. The study results showed that the textbooks can highly encourage learners' further explorations according to the four analytic elements reflected in the seven textbooks: one out of the six textbooks well designed for texts, three for data, six for activities, two for evaluation. In terms of Romey's involvement index points, six of the seven textbooks had low indexes of texts, ranging from 0.175 to 0.393. Data indexes were extremely low in four out of the seven textbooks, ranging from 0.058 to 0.226. Five out of the seven textbooks had very high indexes of evaluation in the broad range of 2 to 6.333 points. Furthermore, these newly designed textbooks can more greatly facilitate students' explorations than previously existing textbooks in three elements: texts, data, and activities. Evaluation indexes significantly increased in these new textbooks from 0.916 to 3.914, which had excessive points in terms of promoting students' explorations. Further methods to improve the textbook quality is proposed based on the results from this analysis.
