The purpose of this study is to provide considerations through investigation and analysis about non-computer major learners' difficulties in computational thinking education. In recent, the importance of human resources development in convergence based on computational thinking is increasing internationally and a Korean university is selecting CT as a mandatory subject. I taught CT with Scratch at C university in Seoul for two semesters in 2014 and investigated and analyzed what difficulties non-Computer majors felt in the process of CT education. The result showed they felt the following some difficulties in order: the concept of variable and list; to think a idea and implement it; which commands should be selected. The pleasure and the interest can be apply to decrease difficulty, because they affect self-programming ability and self-CT capability each other statistically. Although Scratch is an easy and an intuitive programming language, it is needed to consider to provide appropriate learning time to student for using and applying commands.

This study applied effective playful learning to increase the learning motivation of non-CS major students to help them achieve learning and to successfully operate online SW liberal arts classes for 560 students. As a result of analyzing the students' reflection journals, most of the students accepted the 'white radish' of dialect names as fun playful learning in the process of learning local variables and global variables. And they were surprised and amazed at discovering unexpected contents in our SW class. It was found that they experienced delight in learning, learning-flow, confidence, and intrinsic motivation. In the final term exam at the end of the semester, it was confirmed that the correct rate of 92% for questions related to local and global variables was higher than the average rate of other questions' correctness of 67.1%.

Recently, with an emphasis on software proficiency, universities are providing software education to all students regardless of their majors. However, non-majors often lack motivation for software education and perceive the unfamiliar learning content as more challenging. To address this issue, tailored software education according to the learners' characteristics is essential. Art students, for instance, with their strong visual comprehension and expressive abilities, can benefit from utilizing visual literacy to enhance the effectiveness of programming education. In this study, we propose decomposing everyday problems into flowcharts and pseudocode to construct procedural and visual images. Using the educational programming language PlayBot, we aim to analyze the effectiveness of teaching by coding to solve problems. Through this approach, students are expected to grasp programming concepts, understand problem-solving processes through computational thinking, and acquire skills to apply programming in their respective fields.

The informatics curriculum which was revised in 2015 presents the growth of creative and convergent talents as a main goal, and what is essential in the growth of creative and convergent talents is Computational Thinking(CT). In this study, in line with the goal of the growth of creative and convergent talents, the subject of IoT technology and liberal arts and natural sciences integration course was combined with the contents of informatics textbook, and the teaching-learning program was developed. In order to verify the effect of the developed teaching-learning program, the experimental research was conducted, and as a result of study, the mean of the experimental group was 10 points higher than that of the control group. Therefore, it could be known that there was an effect in the teaching-learning program suggested in this study. It is expected that the teaching-learning program suggested in this study can induce the learning motive and interest in SW education by directly implementing SW skill to the various fields of a real life through CT education based on Iot as well as a programing language, and improve convergent and scientific thinking through the experience of solving the problems which are blended with many subjects through liberal arts and natural sciences integration course, and designing them creatively.

SW education is being implemented in all the school due to the application of the 2015 Curriculum. The purpose of SW education is to improve Computational Thinking by using Unplugged Activities, Educational Programming Language, and Physical Computing. Among them, 73 domestic and 85 overseas researches related to 'Unplugged Activities' were compared and analyzed using semantic network analysis techniques. As a result, the research on 'Unplugged Activities' has been started from 1998, and the research has started in Korea since 2006. As the CT is recognized as a core competence for the future society in line with the 4th Industrial Revolution, researches have been rapidly increasing in both the domestic and overseas countries since 2016. In Korean studies, it was analyzed that many main words related to the elemental factors such as 'unplugged activity', 'robot utilization', 'educational programming language' were found. This suggests that future research should move toward research for the promotion of 'CT' which is the purpose of computer science.

As the need for artificial intelligence (AI) education, which will become the core of the upcoming intelligent information society rises, the national level is also focusing attention by including artificial intelligence-related content in the curriculum. In this study, the PASPA education program was presented to enhance students' creative problem-solving ability in the process of solving problems in daily life through supervised machine learning. And Micro:bit, a physical computing tool, was used to enhance the learning effect. The teaching and learning process applied to the PASPA education program consists of five steps: Problem Recoginition, Argument, Setting data standard, Programming, Application and evaluation. As a result of applying this educational program to students, it was confirmed that the creative problem-solving ability improved, and it was confirmed that there was a significant difference in knowledge and thinking in specific areas and critical and logical thinking in detailed areas.

With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution, interest in artificial intelligence education is increasing in elementary schools. In order to nurture future talents with artificial intelligence capabilities, AI education should be actively conducted at school sites. Although basic software education is provided in the 2015 revised curriculum, there is a tendency to view the programming process that creates artificial intelligence only as a problem-solving process. However, when creating an artificial intelligence, the value of the developer who creates artificial intelligence is projected. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the contents of artificial intelligence value judgment during SW education. This study has limitations due to the fact that Delphi research was conducted with a group of experts. In the future, it is judged that quantitative research should be conducted to supplement these limitations.

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.
