Abstract

Recently ICT (Information Communication Technology) education has been adopted for elementary school students in Korea. ICT education is classified into two categories: literacy education and application education. However, only application education is emphasized in the current ICT education curricula. The computer operating system is a core topic in ICT literacy education, and thus it is necessary to teach the right concepts and basic knowledge of computer operating system from early childhood. In this paper, a Web-based computer operating system teaching-learning system for elementary school students is designed and implemented. The system has the following characteristics: first, the basic contents on operating systems necessary for elementary school students to understand are organized and classified into various stages and areas depending on students’ prior knowledge and study plan, second, user-friendly interfaces are designed and implemented to facilitate students’ learning, third, the system can help teachers keep track of students’ progress and easily guide students.
