SUMMARY

Changes to daily life related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution are taking place at home and abroad. To keep up with the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s global trend, which will further advance the so-called ‘hyper-connected society’ and ‘super-intelligent society’ through the convergence and integration of industries, nations and individuals must prepare themselves for this eventuality. This is especially true when considering the job changes the Fourth Industrial Revolution will bring. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, where 5G TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION is the norm, will result in an industrial revolution in which human desires for convenience through artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things are accomplished using AI robots instead of humans performing complex tasks. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which was officially mentioned at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, in 2016, differs slightly according to scholars. However, it is generally agreed that in the future, machines, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and smart AI robots will replace humans, taking over most of the work that requires judgment. In order to cultivate expertise in dealing with AI robots, it is necessary to understand software fundamentals. When it comes to understanding software, studies show that teaching at a younger age enhances things such as language education. Enthusiasm for introducing software education, especially coding education, at a young age is increasing worldwide. Although each country’s coding education has distinct characteristics and features, the goal of fostering human resource development in terms of national competitiveness is something they have in common. On the other hand, these software competencies are focused on one’s career and happiness from a personal perspective. Developing personal competencies for social change increases one’s competitiveness in society. As a result, this study hypothesized that education centered on the Entry platform as a program to improve the life skills of elementary school students could affect a student’s life skills. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a life skills program for elementary school students focusing on the Entry platform.
