In this study, we suggested the contents, teaching and learning method, and assessment types of algorithm education in elementary schools. First, we suggested the algorithm education contents; the expression, understanding, flowcharts, structure, results, correction, and improvement of algorithm. Second, we showed the algorithm teaching and learning methods; algorithm in our daily life, the unplugged activity, block programming and tangible programming. Finally, we analyzed all missions of 'Hour of Code' in Code.org, and suggested the algorithm assessment 4 types, which includes selecting, filling, correcting, predicting of appropriate algorithm.

As the importance of software education is emphasized, various educations for improve the computational thinking of elementary school students are being provided. However, there are many limitations that apply to the school at preceding studies. because they were invented for specific environment or students. Therefore, in this study, software education was conducted by constructing teaching-learning activities in consideration of the characteristics of students such as teaching aids and level of computational thinking ability, which can influence students based on the contents of textbooks. Through the comparison about computational thinking improvements, this study tried to suggest the direction of effective software education method. As a result, there are differences in computational thinking improvements according to the student's level and used teaching aids. Specifically, visual programming and unplugged type teaching-learning activities were more effective in teaching aids, and according to the level of students, students with low level of computing thinking in pre-inspection showed relatively high improvement. This tendency suggests that it is necessary to consider various learning factors in designing teaching-learning activities in elementary software education.

As the contents of information were reinforced the rules of computer science, it was necessary to develop the new teaching and learning plans and various education materials that encourage students and easy to access. So, in this study developed a wide ran of play activities and educational materials without using a computer for the area of information representation and applied to 68 students, second grade of middle school for 4 weeks. After the class, the effect on the learning achievement was verified by the t-test. As a result, it was shown that there was a significant difference between learning with play activities materials and the traditional lecture-type. It means that learning with play activities materials in the information representation influences a positive effect to the learning achievement.

The purpose of this study is to apply the training program for teachers to strengthen the competence of artificial intelligence education in primary and secondary school teachers and to analyze its effectiveness and analyze teachers' demands for artificial intelligence education to provide basic research data. The referenced training program was designed based on the ADDIE model by selecting the educational contents based on the five core elements of AI, and teachers from the G Metropolitan Office of Education and the AI Education Research Association collaborated to develop the program. The effectiveness of the developed program and questionnaire of teacher needs analysis for AI teaching were examined for content validity. As a result of the training conducted by applying the developed program, satisfaction with each curriculum of the training and the possibility of application to the field were highly evaluated. It was found that teachers consider the need of teaching unplugged activities for AI education and basic AI experiences in elementary school level, and AI education contents including block programming languages and physical computing activities are needed to teach in middle school level.
