Current computer education is difficult to educate basic concepts and principals of the computer science because the 7th curriculum of computer education is focused on the application of software. According to the ACM K-12 report about the computer science education model, current computer education is taking the wrong way and we should put the highly priority on the education of the fundamentals through programming languages for a better computer education oriented to the computer science. This paper introduces a new object-oriented educational programming language "Dolittle". The design principals of Dolittle are simple syntax of Korean, incremental programming, text based programming, aliasing of function, and object-oriented programming. Being applied to middle school classes, we can confirm that Dolittle is easy to learn, and gives rise to high interest and keeps interest through a course, and also is of great practical use in class for programming novice.

Educational Programming Language (EPL) should be learner-friendly and easy to use. Dolittle, an object-oriented educational programming language (EPL), offers programming environment which can be programmed in Korean(Hangul). However, since some Dolittle commands are not appropriate to elementary and middle school students, it shows limitations for learners to express programming process. In this paper, we developed a set of 1:n multi-reserved words which are able to program with Korean linguistic characteristics as well as considering learners' differences, preferences, and applicable areas. The conclusion in the paper showed that programming with this 1:n multi-reserved words helped learners concentrate on problem solving regardless of the reserved words.

본 논문은 최근 일본에서 개발된 객체지향형 교육용 프로그래밍 언어(EPL: Educational Programming Language) '두리틀(Dolittle)'을 소개하고, 두리틀을 수학 교수-학습에 활용하기 위한 최초의 연구이다. 두리틀은 LOGO의 거북 그래픽스(Turtle Graphics)와 인크리멘탈(Incremental) 프로그래밍 방식, 즉각적인 피드백 등 많은 교육적 이점을 수용하고, 현대 프로그래밍의 고급 기능들을 프로토타입(Prototype) 방식을 통해 어린 학생들도 쉽게 이해할 수 있게 한 텍스트기반의 한글 교육용 프로그래밍 언어이다. 본 논문에서는 LOGO와 두리틀의 활용 비교를 통하여 두리틀을 소개하고, 두리틀을 이용한 기하와 함수의 교수-학습을 위하여 연구자가 고안한 기하판과 좌표판, 삼각함수판의 활용 방안을 제안하고, 그 교수-학습에서 발생하는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 몇 가지 아이디어를 제안하고자 한다.
