摘要：With the fourth industrial revolution, software education has become much more important. In South Korea, Informatics will be taught as mandatory to middle school students; education program development and applications with block based programming languages are vivaciously conducted. Although App Inventor has various educational effects, it has not been studied enough. Based on advanced research, an education program was developed, it was applied to 12 elementary school students who were living in Cheongju. As a result of applying the 20th App Inventor education program, there was no significant difference in the creative problem-solving ability and self-efficacy of elementary school students. Those students thought that the App Inventor program was interesting and it is needed to allocate proper class hours by their grade level. Through this result, in the 2015 revised national curriculum, an educational method was conducted to take advantage of App Inventor effectively. This study shows how App Inventor educational programs should be developed and to energize software education.
