The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of educational programming language(EPL) using the meta-analysis method. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, t-test and F-test were performed for the effect size differences between the variables. The results of the study were as follows: First, EPL turned out to be highly effective in improving learning effects. The total mean of effect size was as big as 1.01 and the value of $U_3$ was 84.38%. EPL increased the learning effect by 34.38% compared with the control group. Second, the moderator variables such as subject, publication type, and learner's school age there was no statistically significant differences. By designing the experiment nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design showed statistically significant effect size compared with single group pretest-posttest design. Third, the mean effect sizes of the dependent variables were as follows: Creativity 1.90, problem solving ability 1.25, logical thinking ability 1.18, learning motivation 0.81, and achievement 0.59. EPL showed positive effect than traditional teaching and learning method comprehensively.

Educational Programming Language has been reported to expand thinking ability and to give help in creative problem solving ability by numerous researches. Researchers are verifying the educational effects of EPL by applying it to various area, but researches in effective application of EPL is yet incomplete. Thus, for effective application of EPL, this research has verified the project completing ability depending on studying style targeted to college senior students. As results of verification, first, the results showed significant differences in project completing abilities depending on information processing methods, and learners who preferred self-reflecting introspection showed high scores. Second, in learning style the divergers showed the highest scores. This research suggested the necessity of guidance and detailed planning of self-reflecting introspective activity in ideas that would be realized by learners through searching for factors that could enhance the degree of project completion in programming learning using EPL.

정보통신 기술의 발달로 정보윤리교육은 더 강조되고 있지만 청소년의 사이버 폭력, 저작권 침해 등 역기능 노출 현황은 전혀 줄어들고 있지 않다. 그 원인 중 하나는 "안다"는 도덕적 인지와 "실천한다"의 도덕적 행동이 불일치한 것으로 볼 수 있으며, 도덕적 인지가 도덕적 행동으로 이어지지 않는 문제점을 해결해야 한다. 또한 2015개정교육과정의 등장으로 SW교육의 중요성이 대두되었지만 여전히 교육 시수는 부족하여 정보윤리교육은 상대적으로 소홀해질 가능성이 높다. 이에 본 논문에서는 선행 연구들을 분석하여 실천력을 강화시킬 수 있는 전략들을 살펴보고 정보윤리의식과 컴퓨팅사고력을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있도록 교육용프로그래밍언어와 정보윤리교육을 연계하여 정보윤리 실천력을 강화시킬 수 있는 EPL기반 정보윤리 교육프로그램을 개발하였다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a convergence software teaching and learning model based on flipped learning through multidisciplinary integration of the subject matter curriculum and content elements of software education so as to facilitate students' self-directed learning utilizing computers and smart devices and to apply the model to the elementary classroom and examine the effects on students' EPL interest and achievement levels. The teaching and learning model consists of four stages: content convergence, problem presentation, creative idea design, and product sharing. The results of the analyses indicated that students' EPL interest was enhanced and achievement levels were increased. The implications of the results of the study and expected effects were discussed.

Computer programming has educational effect on improving high-level thinking abilities. However, students initially have to spend too much effort in learning the basic grammar and the usage model of programming languages, which negatively affects their eagerness in learning. To remedy this problem, we propose to apply the Scratch to a Game Developing Programming Class; Scratch is an easy-to-learn and intuitive Educational Programming Language (EPL) that helps improving the Meta-cognition and Self-efficacy of middle school students. Also we used the Demonstration-Practice instruction model with self-questioning method for activating the Meta-cognition. In summary, a game developing programming class using Scratch was shown to significantly improve the Meta-cognition of middle school students. However it was shown to insignificantly improve the Self-efficacy of girl students group.

In this paper, we proposed the education program using Scratch as an alternative activity for the remedy program of game addiction. We tried to find the solution through computer and game that affect the problem of game addiction. We choose the high-risk students about game addiction disposition and took a programming lesson for educational game development with consultation class. We also analysed the effectiveness of our remedy program. We found the positive results between before and after the program and we analysed that game connectivity rates were decreased during recess time. In interview and observation about students, we found that the students were changed to the positive tendency about game addiction. We expect this program will give many help for solving the problem of game addiction, if this research is applied to the regular class in elementary school.

Students meet with many problems during programming education in computer education. In part of computer education, computer programming education have been researched. And the research have said that computer programming education have helped to increasing of students' creativity during find answer of problem through flexible thought. Especially, elementary school students, who learn to programming language for the first time, feel difficulty, when they learn computer programming. But the use of EPL reduce difficulties. So Students can focus on the thinking. Therefore, in this paper, a draft was produced and applied to observe the creative elements increasing of elementary school students. Than modify and supplement the draft through improvements to a draft obtained by applying. Also, made the educational material that can be used directly in the field.

The rapidly changing 21st-century knowledge and information society is emphasizing converged education that crosses various academic fields. In particular, the society expected the cultivation of the talent who balance scientific creativity and artistic sensitivity by adding arts to the existing converged education revolving around science and technology. However, at present, most STEAM education has been actively conducted with a focus on science and technology, whereas the subject of arts has been regarded or utilized as a supplementary means. Its problem is that the educational characteristics and values of art education have not been effectively utilized in educational terms and this could lead to superficial integrated education. In this respect, this study had the knowledge of various fields, such as science, technology, and mathematics, utilized usefully during the process of experiencing and creating arts. Accordingly, this study designed an education programs as with the case of Nam-Jun Baek who expanded the dominion of arts by creatively utilizing his own time's scientific technologies. In this educational process, the target program was developed in a manner that enables EPL to be utilized essentially as the study's knowledge-based tool and medium. The results of applying this educational program in 5th-grade elementary school students showed that the program has positive effects on the creative attributes of the students.
