ABSTRACT

A Literature Review of Foundational SW/AI Concepts and Teacher Interaction Strategies in Early ChildhWith the expansion of Artificial Intelligence(AI) and Internet of Things(IoT)-based technologies, early childhood SW/AI education has increasingly emphasized foundational concepts related to rule recognition and procedural understanding. This study explored foundational SW/AI concepts and teacher interaction strategies through a review of the literature on early childhood SW/AI education. Relevant studies on early childhood SW/AI education, computational thinking(CT), and teacher interaction were analyzed. The findings identified seven foundational SW/AI concepts: condition, sequencing, algorithm, pattern, iteration, debugging, and input–output. These concepts were associated with rule recognition, procedural understanding, repetitive application, and error correction. Teacher interaction strategies were categorized into questioning, feedback, and reconstructive language. Condition and sequencing emerged as core concepts underlying other SW/AI concepts, and case analyses suggested that teachers’ verbal interactions may support young children's understanding of rules, procedures, and problem-solving processes. This study proposes a developmentally appropriate framework of foundational SW/AI concepts and highlights the educational significance of teacher interaction strategies in early childhood SW/AI education. The findings provide a foundation for SW/AI program development, teacher training, and future empirical research.ood Education: Focusing on Condition and Sequencing Concepts
