Abstract
This study intends to examine the effects of education using robot on computational thinking and attitudes according to left and right brain preference. To execute the study, 17 elementary students at A youth training center in Seoul were selected to participate in the education. And the mean difference was analyzed using matched pair t-test and Mann-Whitey U test. As a result, after participating in the education, there was some statistical significance found in the scores to test student's computational thinking, but not statistical significance on the attitudes. Furthermore, there was no significance found in computational thinking or attitude according to the left and right brain preference. The purpose of this study can be found in that it expands the understanding of education using robot by verifying the efficacy and analyzing differences according to left and right brain preference.
