The purpose of this study is to analyze the perception of elementary and secondary parents on 'Informatics' education to solve the various social problems that can occur due to the application of mandatory 'Informatics' subject and find the stable public education settlement plans. For this purpose, we conducted and analysis of questionnaire survey on 'Informatics' education for parents of elementary and secondary students who participating the SW education camp in K university. The major results of this study are as follows. Firstly, both of elementary and secondary parents show high interest in the SW education policy of the government, but they are showing distrust about the timeliness of the actual SW education policy and the support of elementary and secondary education. Secondly, both of the elementary and secondary parents showed high awareness of the necessity and importance of 'Informatics' education and they recognized that 'Informatics' education should be done in high school. Thirdly, parents of elementary and secondary school students perceive that there is not enough time for 'Informatics' education and both of elementary and secondary parents to secure teachers with professional competence as a leading factor for stable settlement of 'Informatics' education in public education field. In this study, we suggested the stable settlement plans in public education field based on the analysis results.

The paradigm of SW industry has been rapidly changing into mobile and cloud technology environment. Research model based on PEST-SWOT analysis was employed to derive internal and external factors connected with PEST factors through analyzing the current status and problems of SW HRD system in Korea. Survey was conducted by 20 experts who are involved in SW companies, university, and R&D research institute using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) model. The empirical result showed that SW fusion HRD, creativity-oriented university education in the field of software, global education and exchange, and revitalization of SW venture ecosystem are derived as policy visions of SW HRD for smart industry ecosystem. Another findings are that SW fusion HRD, revitalization of SW venture ecosystem, Job Creation through revitalization of SW start-up, Creation of coexistence between SW large enterprises and SMEs, creativity-oriented university education in the field of software, and global education and exchange are presented in order in terms of the importance of policy priority.

This study investigated the effects of SW-efficacy on computational thinking STEAM literacy and the dual mediation effects of interest and student engagement in the relationship between SW-efficacy, computational thinking and STEAM literacy in robot-utilized SW convergence education. For achieving this purpose, robot-utilized SW convergence education targeting 146 middle schools students were carried out, post-survey regarding SW-efficacy, computational thinking, STEAM literacy, interest, and learning engagement were conducted. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS macro process for analysis of the dual mediation effect. Results were as follows: first, SW-efficacy had a significant effect on computational thinking and STEAM literacy. Second, interest did not mediate the relationship between SW efficacy, computational thinking and STEAM literacy, while student engagement mediated it. Third, SW efficacy had a significant effect on computational thinking and STEAM literacy dual-mediating effect of interest and student engagement. These results imply the roles of SW efficacy, interest and student engagement to improve computational thinking and STEAM literacy in robot-utilized SW education and provide implications with regard to robot-utilized SW education and instructional directions.

The purpose of this study is to statistically analyze the correlation between unplugged activities using SW educational board games and computational thinking ability of elementary school students, and then find a method of SW education through the results. The study was conducted with 40 students in the 5th grade at an Elementary School in Incheon. Students participated at unplugged activities using a board game for SW education with 12 hours of teacher guidance and 10 hours of free activities. After that, a post-test was conducted to analyze the degree of improvement in computational thinking ability. As the results, it was confirmed that the comprehensive computational thinking ability was improved, and that the four areas of the sub-domains of computational thinking ability were improved to a significant level. These results suggest that providing a basic SW education experience by utilizing a board game for SW education helps to improve students' computational thinking ability.

이 연구는 초등 교사들의 SW 교육 연수 참여 시간에 따른 행태를 알아보기 위한 목적을 갖고 기존까지 진행된 초등 교사 대상 SW 연수에 대한 중간 점검을 하고자 하는 목적을 갖고 있다. 이 연구를 통해 다음을 제안한다. 1)여자 교사를 대상으로 하는 30시간 연수를 중점적으로 운영하고 적극 참여할 수 있게 유도하는 방법을 강구해야하고, 2)대도시와 읍면지역의 초등 교사들을 대상으로 SW 교육 연수에 관심을 갖게 할 흥미위주의 연수 프로그램을 강구해야하고, 3)교사의 SW 수업과 연구 활동의 저변확대를 위해 초등 교사들이 61시간 이상 SW 연수 프로그램에 참여할 수 있도록 종용해야 한다. 이 연구를 통해 앞으로 진행될 초등 교사 SW 연수 프로그램의 방향을 수정 보완하길 바라며, 보다 체계적인 연수 진행으로 인해 초등 교육 현장의 SW 교육 시작의 어려움이 최소화될 수 있기를 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a Goldberg device-based software(SW) convergence Education tool. The 2015 revised curriculum emphasizes convergence with various subjects for effective SW education. In particular, physics is often used as a material for SW convergence education because it is closely related to computational thinking such as sequential movement, quantification of energy and simulation. In this study, we developed an educational program based on the Goldberg device that utilizes physical knowledge, concepts and manipulation. In order to verify the effectiveness of the program, the survey questions were developed through Delphi verification and a basic satisfaction survey was conducted based on this. As a result, the developed program can be effectively used as a program for SW convergence education.

In this study, It analyzed the effect of pair programming teaching methods in elementary software education. At first, for the development of SW educational programs it surveyed 162 elementary students and 34 teachers in J area. As a result, developed SW educational programs based on geometry in elementary mathematics and it was applied. For application SW programs it was constructed 22 students experimental group, 22 students comparison group of 44 students in 3, 4, 5th grade the winter break of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ university education donation application. First, software education using pair programming will be more effective on the development of elementary school students' computational thinking.

In this paper, We evaluated students' computational thinking in elementary school for SW education. Also, we analyzed on the difference of students' computational thinking according to the level of school's educational information. As a result, We confirmed that students' computational thinking were deferent according to the experience of schoolmaster's SW education and the ICT infra of school. In particular, students' computational thinking were meaningfully deferent according to the SW education experience of schoolmaster, the number of mobile devices for education and the speed of school network. Accordingly, we proposed the policy to heighten the effect of SW education. The policy were the extension of SW education for teacher, school network infra and mobile device for education.

Society is operating with software and a new digital era through the Internet of Things started. A variety of fields are being in conjunction with each other based on computing. As problems in real life become more complicated and communication based on various knowledge and problem solving skills are emphasized, these changes are reflected in the curriculum. These changes started from overseas in advance then Korea includes SW education in elementary and secondary education through curriculum revision of 2015. On the other hand, SW education for university students just started after the curriculum revision of elementary and secondary education. The new SW education highlights and develops Computational Thinking beyond programming and it will be a key for the future. Therefore, this study analyzed trends of Computational Thinking and examples of CT courses in Universities. Suggestions and ideas for instructional model to develop Computational Thinking were discussed.
