In this paper I present the framework for programming education relating to the programming course in university. First of all, I identify the literature of the psychological and educational study of programming in domestic and foreign country. Some outstanding papers in foreign country show that the mental model, programming knowledge and strategies are the important difference between novice and expert programmers. And various problems experienced by novice programmers are identified. I summarise this material and suggest some practical implications for programming teachers in their teaching activity. The framework for programming education presented by this work has three dimensions of program development process, programming learning factors and teaching and learning methods for programming to develope the novice's programming skill. It helps the programming teacher to design, implement and evaluate their programming course with the guideline of programming activities.

The analysis of large-scale water resources systems is often complicated by the presence of multiple reservoirs and diversions, the uncertainty of unregulated inflows and demands, and conflicting objectives. Reinforcement learning is presented herein as a new approach to solving the challenging problem of stochastic optimization of multi-reservoir systems. The Q-Learning method, one of the reinforcement learning algorithms, is used for generating integrated monthly operation rules for the Keum River basin in Korea. The Q-Learning model is evaluated by comparing with implicit stochastic dynamic programming and sampling stochastic dynamic programming approaches. Evaluation of the stochastic basin-wide operational models considered several options relating to the choice of hydrologic state and discount factors as well as various stochastic dynamic programming models. The performance of Q-Learning model outperforms the other models in handling of uncertainty of inflows.

In this paper, we use scratch to design and develop non-formal learning experiences that are linked with contents of secondary science textbook to educational programs. The goal of this paper is to develop a convenient and interesting program for non-formal learning in a learning environment using various smart device. Theoretical approaches to mobile education, such as smartphones, and smart education support policies continue to lead to various research efforts. Although most of the smart education systems developed for students who have difficulty in academic performance are utilized, they are limited to general students. To solve the problem, the learning environment was implanted by combining the scratch, which is an educational programming that can be easily written. The science education program proposed in this paper shows the result of process of programming using ICT device using scratch programming. In the evaluation stage, we were able to display the creations and evaluate each other, so that we could refine them more by sharing the completed ideas.

Programming is excellent tool on realizing ideas. However students often complain of difficulties due to requiring the strict programming grammar and the highly thinking. Although various researches have been conducted to teach the programming easily for students, it should precede the analysis of what and why programming concept is difficult for learners. In this study, we analyzed what and why the programming concept is difficult for novice learners in basic programming education. Based on the results, we suggested: improving problem-solving skills based on accurate understanding and internalization on the programming concept, on reducing error between thought and execution results through the creation of sophisticated algorithms and on offering a variety of troubleshooting experience, establishing strategies to think freely for problem-solving process, and promoting the effectiveness of the learning through the learning procedure design.

It is not sufficient to give a lecture in programming language without programming practice since lectures on programming must be given at lecture room with H/W and S/W for programming. In this paper, learning for Visual Basic programming has been designed and embodied with the leveled learning system in order to give an effective and positive result to both teacher and learner under the constructivism theory of education (Problem Based learning, Self-Directed learning) for the theoretical basis of the seventh education curriculum. We implemented a web courseware for Visual Basic programming using ActiveX and Tutor System. As the result of education using this courseware, it is verified as a leveled education method to adapt the learning ability of individual students, and it can raise the achievement, enthusiasm of learning and provide various opportunity of education with this various education methods. Also it enhances the problem solving ability and the logical thinking power by providing students with error correction learning.

This study analysed the programming attitude and degree of achievement as the 6 types of learning styles which is suggested by Grasha and Reichmann(1974) after a performance of the programming education using the Diki-3000 which is the teaching tools of the specific manipulative activities, in order to prepare the programming education method according to the characteristics of elementary school learners. As the result of the study, the programming attitude according to the 6 types of the learning styles has indicated more positiveness in the independence type than in the dependence type, in the competition type than in the cooperation type, in the participation type than in the avoidance type. In the side of the degree of the achievement, the independent, competition, and participation types indicated more positive than the other types. Also, as the result of an structured interview with learners, which was conducted for deep understanding, there was an understanding of differences of requests to the programming learning classified by the learning styles, and suggestion of a plan for improvement of the Diki-3000 programming in the aspect of an educational environment, teaching tools, teaching contents, and teaching methods in this study.

The introduction of educational programming language has changed programming learning environment to learn programming through various learning activities. We need to analyze how effective these learning activities could be in programming learning. We performed a meta analysis of the programming learning effects according to 8 types of learning activities. The 44 studies were collected from 1993 to 2015 for the meta analysis. The study data of 77 were extracted among 44 studies through several steps. The major results were as follows. The effect size of cognitive domain was shown to be mid-level with .595 and the effect size of affective domain was shown to be mid-level with .594. We analysed according to learning activities. The effect size were no significant difference between learning activities in the cognitive domain. But simulation, animation and mathematical activities was shown to be more consistent results and mid-level effect size. Although the effect size were no significant difference, the homogeneity was shown to be high in the affective domain. The implications were suggested from research findings. First, it is desirable that learners learn programming according to various learning activity themes. Second, instructors should pay attention to simulation, animation and mathmatics activities. Third, researchers need research to find another factors for effective learning.
