  • The 2015 revised curriculum offers elementary students an unplugged computing education as a way to learn the concepts and principles of computer science in an easy and fun way and to improve their computational thinking. Yutnori is a traditional board game unique to Korea, which contains various contents such as history, culture, and science of our people, which helps to cultivate cultural identity of learners, and can effectively promote cooperation and communication among members. In this paper, we examined the possibility that Yutnori could be used as an unplugged computing tool in elementary school software education and convergence education. Korean traditional board game Yutnori has elements that can learn the sun and movements of heavenly bodies as well as sequential, selection, and repetitive algorithm elements. Unplugged activities that apply Korean traditional culture Yutnori is expected to help foster creative convergence talents by improving elementary school students' computational thinking, communication and community.

  • Unplugged has been widely used as an instrument for teaching the basic principles of Computer Science. We'll present 'the binary system teaching contents for the characters' developed for the elementary. And they will successfully guide the student to understand the characters using in computer system. The activity-based learning is provided for describing characters with coding and decoding rules, and the using will be found out in everyday life. To check the adequacy of these materials they were tested to the elementary classroom, and the results showed effectively at Knowledge, Attitude, Generalization levels.

  • Unplugged has been widely used as an instrument for teaching the basic principles of Computer Science. This study presents the teaching contents developed for the children without any knowledge of binary numbers. which successfully guided them to understand the natural number binary system. The level of the pre-lesson for this learning requires counting numbers, matching numbers with cards, and arranging numbers. The activity-based learning is provided for describing natural numbers with the binary system and finding out them in everyday life. To check the adequacy of these materials on their organization and assessment they were tested at the classroom, which showed effective about the knowledge, the attitude and the generalization.

  • Currently computer education has been emphasized improving thinking skill instead of practical education of applied software. There are various studies that are to teach algorithm with visualization learning materials or activitives-centered unplugged class. However, algorithm classes for elementary school have various difficulties. One of the reasons is insufficient learning materials and teaching methods. Therefore we designed a activities-centered algorithm class for elementary school students. We hope this study will contribute to the study of algorithm classes for improving kids' thinking skill.

  • Algorithm education is emphasized as an instrument for teaching the basic principles of Computer Science. But these materials is very short-fall. We'll present the CS Unplugged-based algorithm contents, which is easy to learn for elementary student. These contents for self-directed learning consisted of the activity-based learning. For problem-solving algorithm learning in everyday life we were developed the hashing techniques on the basis of the basic searching and sorting algorithms. For checking the adequacy of these materials were tested by surveys of teacher professional groups, and we obtain the appropriate conclusions for sorting algorithm contents for improving the problem-solving ability for in elementary student.

  • In this study, the contents of the Software Education area included in the Practical Art textbooks of the elementary school were analyzed based on the achievement standards of the Software Education in the 2015 revised curriculum for exploring the characteristics of the Software Education and the direction to go. According to the results of the analysis, the five achievement standards presented by the Ministry of Education were assigned to 17 or 18 times according to the textbooks. Unplugged activities related to Algorithm and unplugged activities related to Computer Science were included in textbooks. Contents of [6P04-09] and [6P04-10] standards were shown differently according to textbooks.Based on the results, it is suggested that Subsequent studies with quantitative and qualitative analysis for six kinds of textbooks should be continue.

  • In this paper, we want to know the effect of elementary students' creativity thru the play-centered computer science educational program. We extracted educational content from computer science. The students addressed to the problems thru the play and found their own solution. Research result show significant difference in creative attitude of sub-area of creativity. We found that students were actively involved with pleasure in play, the rules of play was actively keep.

  • CS Unplugged education is emphasized as the component of the basic principles of Elementary SW education. This document produced by two other Timbell presents the contents in a variety of topics about computer science. One of the main components is the finite Automata, and this requires the development of educational materials for teaching our situation. So We'll present the finite Automata learning materials for elementary school classes. Learning model that we have presented is a process of self-directed and activity-based learning. For verification of this experiment was the validation of the expert group and was concluded that adequate through the analysis of the diagnostic tests.

  • CS Unplugged education at the base of computer science is emphasized as an instrument for teaching the basic principles of elementary SW education, but these materials for elementary education are very lacking. So We'll present the data error detection and correction materials for elementary school classes. Based on previous studies related to this topic, we developed learning materials for elementary higher grade students using Hamming code. We introduces the card magic in the introduction part. 'error detection and correction' learning materials based on the principle of Hamming code, were composed as activity-based education. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that it had a positive effect on improving learners' understanding of computer science.

  • Unplugged computing, the teaching and learning method, helps you learn the principles and concepts of computer science, and its advantage is that even elementary school students can easily understand it. Most of the North Korean Defector specialized alternative schools in the country have the purpose of having their students pass the qualification exam and be admitted to college. Therefore, the data, or information courses, are comprised of simple typing practices and basic office program handling. The purpose of the present study is to offer a teaching plan for these North Korean refugee adolescents, and we had assessed the courses in terms of its effectivity through a verification process. As a result, during the stage where we analyzed the answers from surveys, that they considered suggested curriculum for these specialized North Korean refugee alternative school was appropriate and have the potential to increase the student's satisfaction and interest.
