The nature of complex modern society inevitably creates intricate problems that can be solved by the computational and logical reasoning. The programming education in Informatics can effectively raise the ability of computational thinking. The paper proposes and evaluates a STEAM curriculum that can draw the interest and attention of students. The curriculum educates the multi-disciplinary knowledge from science, music and informatics, and it was designed to have group discussions with self-directed study. The experiments were performed with $4^{th}{\sim}6^{th}$ grade gifted students in Informatics from elementary schools. The Arduino was used as the experiment environment. The experiment results reveal that the interests in Informatics and programming have been escalated after the STEAM class; 75% of students expressed the surge of interest in computers and 93% of students responded positively to the Arduino-based class. The effectiveness of the experiment outcomes was validated with t-test.

In this study, learning preferences of the informatics gifted participating in on-line programming practice has been investigated and the tutoring strategy based on learning styles was developed and verified its effectiveness. On-line programming learning is the environment in which learning is done through interaction with a tutor. For determination of the students' learning styles, Grasha-Reichmann's learning style was utilized. Key elements, learning activity and feedback, of tutoring strategy were derived based on learning style and developed on-line programming learning tutoring strategy. To verify the effectiveness, six-class period of learning C-language of 173 middle and high school students based on learning styles was applied for 12 weeks. As a result, the experiment group applied with a tutoring strategy based on the learning style showed significant improvements in terms of satisfaction and achievement than the control group.

본 논문에서는 스크래치2.0을 활용한 초등정보영재의 프로그래밍 교육 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 스크래치는 블록을 쌓는 것만으로 프로그래밍이 가능하기 때문에 프로그래밍을 처음 접하는 초등정보영재 학생의 프로그래밍 교육과정으로 적합하다. 또한 2.0으로 버전업되면서 스크립트 보기(See inside)나 리믹스(Remix)기능이 추가되어 프로그램의 공유 및 협업이 더 용이하여졌다. 따라서 이러한 스크래치2.0의 기능을 사용한다면 학습자에게 필요한 협업 및 의사소통 능력을 기르게 하는데 적합하다고 할 수 있다. 또한 영재학생들은 학습자 스스로 목표를 정하고 계획을 능동적으로 수행해나갈 때 높은 성과를 보이는 특성이 있다. 따라서 자기 주도적 학습 모형을 영재학생들에게 사용한다면 더 효과적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 스크래치 2.0을 활용하여 Treffinger의 자기 주도적 학습모형을 적용한 프로그래밍 교육 방안을 제안하였다. 추후에 초, 중, 고 영재기관 연계를 위한 프로그래밍 교육위계에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

In this paper, we propose an smart device based robot programming education program and analyzing students' perceptions such as satisfaction, Expectancy-Value of IT convergence learning after the robot education program according to elementary gifted students' level. Smart device based robot programming education program designed based on schematic of the convergence suggested by WTEC and consist of creative phase, integration/fusion phase, innovation phase, outcome phase for learning practical process of the IT convergence. We are conducting a smart device based robot programming education class to consist of 126 gifted students and analysing the difference of perception. According to analysis of the result, core and advanced students' perception on satisfaction score shows also high. However, advanced level students' satisfaction score shows higher than core students' satisfaction score. Also, advanced level students' expectancy-value score on IT convergence learning shows higher than core students' score.

본 연구의 목적은 정보영재에 관련한 국내 연구들을 분석하여 앞으로 연구되어야 할 정보영재 연구의 주제와 방향을 도출하는데 있다. 이를 위해 2003년부터 2016년까지의 학술지 수록 논문 총 75편의 연구 주제를 연도 학교급 별로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 교육내용에 관한 연구는 많이 이루어진 데 비해 교육방법에 관한 연구가 상대적으로 부족하고, 중등 정보영재학생의 선발에 관한 연구가 필요함에도 불구하고 전혀 다루어지고 있지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 향후 정보영재 연구는 정보영재를 가르치는 방법과 중등 정보영재 선발에 관심을 가질 필요가 있다.

영재들은 그들의 특성상 지적인 호기심과 높은 과제집착력을 갖고 있다. 물론 그들이 갖고 있는 능력으로 봤을 때 알고리즘 수업을 진행하면 어느 정도의 문제해결력을 신장시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 정보영재들의 능력을 조금 더 끌어올리는 것에 연구에 목적을 두고 있으며 동기유발전략을 활용하면 기존의 알고리즘 수업보다 더 높은 문제해결력을 키우는 것에 가설을 두고 연구를 진행하였다. 알고리즘 수업은 기존 정보교육과정과 비교하여 비슷한 수준으로 구성하였으며 실생활과 관련된 수업 모형을 연구, 적용한 후 문제해결능력 검사지[4]를 이용하여 그 효과를 검증하였다. 검사 결과 실험집단의 문제해결능력이 통제 집단에 비해 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 전통적인 알고리즘 수업보다는 정보영재들의 지적인 호기심과 자신감을 자극한 수업이 학습자의 문제해결능력을 향상시켰음을 의미한다. 이는 같은 내용이라도 동기유발전략을 활용한 수업이 효과적이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었고 앞으로도 다양한 전략을 활용한 수업이 필요함을 기대한다.

With the rising interest in intelligence information technology built on artificial intelligence and big data technologies, all countries in the world including advanced countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and so on, have launched national investment programs in preparation for the fourth industrial revolution centered on the software industry. Our country belatedly recognized the importance of software and initiated the 2015 revised educational curriculum for elementary and secondary informatics subjects. This paper thoroughly analyzes the new educational curriculum for information science in high schools and, then, suggests improvements in the areas of information ethics and multimedia. The analysis of the information science curriculum is applied to over twenty science high schools and schools for gifted children, which are expected to play a leading role in scientific research in our country. In the future artificial intelligence era, in which our dependence on information technology will be further increased, information ethics education for talented students who will play the leading role in making and utilizing artificial intelligence systems should be strongly emphasized, and the focus of their education should be different from that of the existing system. Also, it is necessary that multimedia education centered on digital principles and compression techniques for images, sound, videos, etc., which are commonly used in real life, should be included in the 2015 revised educational curriculum. In this way, the goal of the 2015 revised educational curriculum can be achieved, which is to encourage innovation and the efficient resolution of problems in real life and diverse academic fields based on the fundamental concepts, principles and technology of computer science.

Problem solving is essential skill for all students in the $21^{st}$ century. In particular, as the computing system ensures the effectiveness of problem solving in the various disciplines and real life, interest in learning algorithms to design a problem solving process is increasing. In order to improve problem solving skill, students should not only understand algorithm design skills but also apply appropriate skills to solve faced problem. In terms of these the puzzle can be considered a preferred learning tools to improve problem solving skill. Therefore, in this study we designed puzzled based algorithm learning and analyzed the impact of puzzle based algorithm learning on problem solving skills of leaners. As the results of research, we confirmed that the puzzled based algorithm learning took positive effect on enhancing problem solving skills of the learners.
