Abstract

According to the result of PISA and TIMSS, it was reported that interest for Math and Science was far lower compared to high achievement of Them. The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of robot based STEAM education on elementary school students' Math learning behavior and Science motivation. Robot based STEAM education integrated science, mathematics and art with a theme of 'Energy' was practiced for test group and For control group, those three subjects were taught separately in order to achieve this purpose. Curriculum of fourth grade second semester's science, mathematics and art was analysed to teach a robot based STEAM class and STEAM class Model with the theme 'Energy was designed and applied to elementary students. In science class, heat transfer experiment was conducted with robots and the result was related to drawing polygonal lines in mathematics. In art class, robot components were used to describe the heat energy in shapes and colors. The research shows that students' Math learning behavior and Science motivation were improved more with robot based STEAM education than with traditional lessons(p<.05). It proves that robot based STEAM class can be effective for improving interest in elementary Math and Science.

최근 PISA와 TIMSS 연구에 따르면 우리나라 학생들은 수학과 과학에 대한 높은 성취 결과에 비해 교과의 흥미는 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 목적은 초등학교에서 로봇 활용 STEAM 교육이 수학 학습태도 및 과학 학습동기에 미치는 영향을 검증하는데 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 실험집단에는 과학, 수학, 미술교과를 '에너지'라는 주제로 로봇활용 융합적인 STEAM 수업을 실시하였고 통제집단은 세 교과를 분과적인 방식으로 수업하였다. 로봇활용 STEAM교육 수업을 위해 4학년 2학기 수학, 과학, 미술교육과정을 분석하였으며 선택된 '에너지' 주제를 중심으로 STEAM 수업모형을 설계하고 적용하였다. 과학수업은 로봇을 활용하여 열전달 실험을 실시하였으며 얻어진 실험결과는 수학수업의 꺾은선그래프 단원에 연계하였다. 미술수업에서는 열에너지의 느낌을 형과 색으로 표현해보고 상상 표현을 위해 로봇부품을 활용 하였다. 연구결과 로봇활용 STEAM 수업을 실시한 실험집단에서 전통적 교과수업보다 수학 학습태도 및 과학 학습동기가 높게 나타났다(p<.05). 이와 같은 결과는 초등학교에서 로봇활용 STEAM 수업이 수학 및 과학의 흥미 신장에 효과적임을 입증하였다.
