There are areas where the competencies obtained through computer coding activities substantially overlap with life skills components. Studies of these common competencies have suggested the possibility of including these contents in a life skills program. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a program through the Entry program that elementary school students could use online to improve their life skills, given the need to increase contactless online classes due to COVID-19. Eight elementary school teachers with 20 years of experience and two curriculum experts participated in the program’s development. For data collection, 360 data points were collected from eight elementary schools located in each Korean province, including urban and rural areas. SPSS 21.0 was used to analyze the data. Upon completing the 8-week program, the difference in life skills between groups was confirmed using variance analysis based on the number of implementation times, and post-hoc testing was conducted. The study’s results confirmed the difference between the groups conducted for two weeks (M = 3.22), four weeks (M = 3.25), and six weeks (M = 3.67), and the group conducted for eight weeks (M = 3.83). In other words, as the number of weeks of participation in the life skills program increased, there was a difference between groups. These findings suggest a life skills program could be included as part of Entry based computer coding activities for elementary school students through a backward curriculum. In conclusion, this study showed the possibility of using contactless online classes with free Entry-based websites to improve the life skills of elementary school students struggling at home due to COVID-19. It also showed that each elementary school teacher could operate the life skills programs as a contactless learning method using a free coding platform and manual.

Technology in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 currently has a negative impact on elementary school students. These students easily access various kinds of content ranging from educating to negative ones. Attention, supervision, and parental consultation to the teacher is very decisive towards the development of attitudes and behavior of elementary school students. The development of students who are not directed will certainly affect the conditions that occur in the school environment and in the surrounding environment. Students are easily influenced by technological sophistication in the development of the current era. Students are also easily addicted to playing digital technology from the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Parents and teachers need to provide moral values and positive values so that students do not easily fall into negative things and can screen the spectacle they should see. The role of parents and teachers has the same supervision in terms of educating elementary school students but the difference is obtained in its place. Primary students are educated and supervised by parents at home, while teachers supervise elementary school students at school. Supervision of teachers and parents is very instrumental in shaping the attitudes and personalities of children to be better and disciplined.
