Abstract:

Since the importance of software in society, software education has been globally introduced. Korean government is also trying to promote talents by the revision of curriculum; however, due to the lack of lesson hour, education course is not enough to foster sufficient software focused talents. Thus, by supplementation of present curriculum, the development of new curriculum model has been needed. In this study, as a basic research of this development of curriculum model, curriculum revised in 2015 of Korea was compared with that of U. S. A. and that of England. Through the comparison, it was possible to find out what is needed to make up for informatics curriculum. This result could be used as an advanced research for the development of software curriculum model with Korean education context.
