A Study on the direction of 3D Modeling Education Considering Computational Thinking Factors at Elementary School in South Korea
Computational thinking is considered a capability that will be needed in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, so coding education is emphasized in many countries South Korea also emphasized software education to enhance computational thinking through its 2015 revised national curriculum Directly related to computational thinking is 3D modeling, and simplifying the actual object for the modeling or deleting or adding unnecessary parts for it is an abstraction of computational thinking Thus, using a 3D modeling program is a kind of automation of computational thinking In this study, a 3D modeling program, TinkerCad, recommended in South Korean 3D modeling education to enhance computational thinking ability, is presented We study the steps and contents of 3D modeling education using TinkerCad to enhance South Korean elementary students' computational thinking ability
