Abstract

Educational learning methods that take advantage of a robot provide opportunities for students to develop high dimensional thinking, a creative expression and discovery learning opportunity. It is also perceived as a suitable tool for STEAM systems which can be used in a variety of school curriculums. Therefore we designed and developed STEAM educational contents using robots in this study. This study analyze elementary text books and design the convergence contents from various subjects such as math, science, engineering and art through a robot. This study has developed educational materials by making a robot based on the designed contents. They have been applied to after school materials and then evaluated for comprehension, interest and participation. The results of this study have shown very encouraging evaluations from participating students. Accordingly, this study has shown that STEAM contents that take advantage of a robot have improved student participation, interests, and comprehension in the curriculums. Additionally, integrating STEAM educational content has proved more effective in contrast to being separated.

로봇을 이용한 교육은 학생들에게 고차원의 사고, 창의적 표현, 발견 학습의 기회를 제공하고 있다. 또한 로봇을 통해 다양한 교과 영역을 가르칠 수 있으므로 STEAM 교육에도 적합한 도구라 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 로봇을 이용한 STEAM 교육 콘텐츠를 설계하고 개발하였다. 초등학교 교과서를 분석하여 과학, 기술, 공학, 예술, 수학에서 로봇을 통해 효과적으로 전달 가능한 내용들을 추출하여 융합 콘텐츠를 설계하였다. 설계한 내용을 바탕으로 로봇을 조립하고, 프로그램하여 콘텐츠를 개발하였다. 개발된 콘텐츠를 초등학교 방과 후 수업에 직접 적용하였고, 수업 후 설문조사를 통해 교과목의 이해도와 흥미도, 참여도를 평가하였다. 연구결과 로봇을 활용한 STEAM 콘텐츠 수업에서 교과내용의 이해도와 흥미도, 참여도가 높게 나타났다. 이를 통해 STEAM 교육에 로봇의 활용이 교육적 효과가 있다는 점과 개별 교과지식보다 STEAM기반의 융합형 콘텐츠를 이용한 교육의 효과가 높다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다.
