As the SW-centered society has emerged, SW-based problem-solving capabilities is emphasized in all areas of society. It is a trend that universities are obliged to do SW basic education for non-majors students and they are carrying out programming education. This study derives grammatical elements based on conciseness, generality, and efficiency among the design principles of programming language and based on it, compares and analyzes visual programming language and diagramming language. As a result, the efficiency of Raptor is more powerful than Scratch in the simplicity and generality, and the same tendency can be confirmed in the result of the learner's obtained in programming lesson. We hope that this study will contribute to the design and implementation of programming education based on features of programming language.

Programming education has the favorable influence on creative logical thinking and problem-solving ability of students. However programming has not been actively taught at the elementary schools. One of the causes is the lack of systematic curriculum. In this paper, we design the curriculum for 'Understanding of Information Processing' in revised ICT educational guidelines using the educational programming language Scratch. We propose curriculum that consists of 4 lessons for 1st and 2nd graders, 5 lessons for 3rd and 4th graders, and 6 lessons for 5th and 6th graders to lesson the cognitive load, and present the instruction plans. Selected group of experts verified our proposed curriculum and instruction plans. According to verification results, we can conclude that almost the area including the targets, educational factors, learning content, amount of learning, instruction plans are appropriate. The curriculum proposed in this paper can help the elementary students learn programming efficiently, and develop their logical thinking, problem-solving ability, creativity, and information processing ability.

The purpose of this study is to identify the difficulties of learners who started programming after entering college and to search an effective software education method as university liber arts for non-science major students. In order to do this, we analyzed the difficulties of learners in Python programming classes composed of students from various majors at H University through questioning and taught them using flipped class model with pre-questions. The questions that students submit are collected online before class every time, the data on the degree of the difficulty of feeling and the understanding of feeling were obtained through the questionnaire. As a result, for learners who are new to programming, the learners should allocate the process of making the problem into a logical abstraction at the beginning of the curriculum before learning the basic concept of computer language, each lesson should be practiced through the bottom-up problems enough to provide a logical understanding before actual coding. In addition, detailed curriculum should be developed according to characteristics of learner's major, contents and conducting level.

In this paper, I propose a presentation examples of the development of teaching materials using Arduino. For this purpose, a six-step low-cost microcontroller teaching-learning development model was used, the steps being topic selection, exploration of implementation methods, experimentation, production of teaching and learning materials, implementing lesson plans, and improvement. After analyzing the composition of the source code and circuits introduced in the existing Arduino book, this content was reconstructed to fit the programming education context. A simple method of constructing a circuit using materials such as Arduino and a piezo buzzer is proposed to save time on circuit composition. Using this circuit, examples of use in teaching-learning activities for various programming content elements are presented. The core concept of this study is that it provides a direct experience of the content of C language programming exercises that can only be found on existing screens.

In this paper, we intend to relive game addiction by educating game programming for students that suffer from game addiction. We had analyzed popular games at the present day and extracted factors related to information education from game programming tool. In addition, we had designed the practical lesson plan based on the instructional design model. We had applied the game programming project to students for a year and the results were as follows. First, we verified the drop of addiction propensity by performing the examination of game addiction scale with before and after T-test. Second, according to the results of analysis based on grounded theory, it saved game time and relieved game addiction. In conclusion, this study shows that the game programming project relieved game addiction.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in SW education for non-SW major in order to nurture SW convergence talent. In Korea, it is a tendency to make SW mandatory for basic education to all students regardless of their major, starting with SW-oriented universities. Through a case study of programming lesson, the paper compared differences in academic achievements and difficulties of learning between SW majors and non-majors and between the humanities department and the science department. As a result, although there was no significant difference in academic achievement according to majors, the humanities department had more difficulty in implementing programs such as practices, assignments, and team project. Through the interview, lack of understanding about programming problem itself, lack of relationship with friend or tutor that can help assignments, and difficulty in learning motivation by piecemeal curriculum knowledge alone were the main causes. The results will be expected to propose the direction of SW education for non-SW majors.

Nowadays it is required for a student to have the ability to select right things in quantity of knowledge and constructing those in the right way for the individual. Because memorizing a little bit of everything doesn't allow a person to work up to their potential and be the person society wants. In the basis on the revised Information and Communications Technology guidelines at elementary and middle school, it is demanded to start education in elementary schools. Meanwhile elementary school students usually feel bored or find it difficult in learing through the existing program. So I will plan the lesson by Scratch program for programming education and see the effect of this after using that method.

In this paper, we proposed the education program using Scratch as an alternative activity for the remedy program of game addiction. We tried to find the solution through computer and game that affect the problem of game addiction. We choose the high-risk students about game addiction disposition and took a programming lesson for educational game development with consultation class. We also analysed the effectiveness of our remedy program. We found the positive results between before and after the program and we analysed that game connectivity rates were decreased during recess time. In interview and observation about students, we found that the students were changed to the positive tendency about game addiction. We expect this program will give many help for solving the problem of game addiction, if this research is applied to the regular class in elementary school.
