ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to analyze students’needs by conducting a network analysis on the evaluation results from related software education curriculums. The study tested, compared and performed several analyses; core key words analysis, co-occurrence frequency, network analysis, and centrality analysis on specific periods of curriculums in which the software program and textbooks were changed between the first semester of 2017 and the first semester of 2018. As a result of the study, the software curriculums were determined to have been based on the way of design thinking. More specifically, the study found that the curricula was implemented to improve creative thinking, to maintain and to promote team activities, to encourage motivation for participating in software education, to estimate appropriate difficulties and quantity of tasks, to strengthen learning based using scratch, to provide more engaging in active team activities, and to provide feedback on learning outcomes. Future research proposed an improvement plan of software education that could reflect each majors’characteristics through network analysis by college majors.
