Abstract

An attitude survey for teachers was administered to derive extracted inhibition factors and promotion factors using exploratory factor analysis to clarify concrete measures to promote programming education in elementary schools. From the results of 434 respondents, 3 inhibition factors were identified: “lack of teaching materials”, “recognition of inequality”, and “resistance to ICT utilization”. Three promotion factors were also identified: “promotion system”, “provision of information”, and “human support”. In order to clarify the relationships among the six extracted factors, covariance structure analysis was conducted. As a result, the three collaborations of “promotion system”, “provision of information”, and “human support” led to improvements in “lack of teaching materials” and “resistance to ICT utilization”. Furthermore, it was shown that there is a relationship leading to the resolution of the disparities in the skills and knowledge of teachers and students.
