Abstract
This study was designed to implement the meta-analysis for figuring out effects of elementary education programs adopting Arduino. The researcher carefully chose and analyzed 12 primary studies including theses, dissertations, and journal articles. Results were as follows. First, the total effect size of elementary education programs adopting Arduino was 0.519. Second, the effect sizes by the grade levels were 5th grade 0.737, integration of 5th and 6th grade 0.533, and 6th grade 0.472 in order. Third, for status of students, the effect sizes were gifted and talented 0.607 and normal 0.522 in order. Fourth, for subject areas, the effect sizes were environment 0.708, software 0.572, practical arts 0.526, science 0.523, integrated 0.402, and fine arts 0.18 in order. Fifth, for types of programming, the effect sizes were graphic based programming 0.555, text and graphic based programming 0.47, and text based programming 0.464 in order. Sixth, for curriculum types, the effect sizes were extra curriculum 0.636 and regular curriculum 0.51 in order.
