C programming is a main programming for the Educational Robot Arm which is based on AVR ATmega128. The development environment is not integrated, so it is complex and difficult to study for middle or high school students who want to learn programming and control the educational robot arm. Furthermore, there is no debug and testing environment support. This paper presents a Java-based development platform for the educational robot arm. This platform includes: an up-to-date tiny Java Virtual Machine (NanoVM) for the educational robot arm; An Eclipse based Java integrated development environment as an Eclipse plug-in; a 3D simulator on the PCs to support testing and debugging programs without real robots. The Java programming environment makes development for educational robot arm easier for students.

The users' needs are expanded because of developing of educational robot market. However, the technology development doesn't fully adopt customer needs. In general, the most products are followed not user needs but technology trajectory. In this paper, we try to define the educational robot functions from analyzing usage propensity and customer needs with Kano model. According to results, there are key functions based on customer needs such as remote student control, Internet search, educational contents search and study planner. If the four key functions are offered, user's positive attitude to robot will be increased.

본 논문에서는 학생들의 논리력과 창의적 문제해결 능력 향상을 위한 교육용 로봇을 설계하고 구현하였다. 제작된 로봇은 센서와 프로세서 그리고 모터 구동회로를 포함하고 있는 하드웨어와 교육용 로봇 제어 소프트웨어, 로봇 구조물 제작용 기계부품 그리고 교육내용과 제작 매뉴얼이 포함된 교재로 구성되어 있다. 제작된 로봇은 컴퓨터를 사용하지 않고 로봇에 직접 프로그래밍이 가능한 특징을 갖고 있는데 이는 로봇 교육에 있어서 장소의 제약을 받지 않고 교육이 가능함을 의미하며 학생들의 프로그래밍 결과가 로봇의 움직임으로 나타나므로 기존의 정적인 컴퓨터 프로그램 교육의 한계를 넘어 동적인 프로그램 교육이 가능하다. 그리고 간단한 하드웨어 지식과 기초 명령어만으로도 로봇을 제어할 수 있도록 사용자 중심의 함수화된 명령어를 사용하여 로봇이나 컴퓨터 프로그램을 처음 접하는 학생들도 쉽게 접근이 가능하도록 설계 하였다. 로봇을 조립하고 프로그래밍 하는 과정을 통해 학생들의 창의성과 논리력 그리고 문제해결 능력 신장에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Dolittle is a educational programming language that helps students learning principles and concepts of computer science with programming. Learning programming with robot improve learning achievements robot motivate to be interest with programming. However, Dolittle robot programming is a different from Dolittle programming in process of interpretation and execution mechanism. Therefore, students have virtually to learn two languages to control robot and it would reduce the worth of Dolittle as educational programming language. In order to solve this problem, we tried to Unify Dolittle and robot control language using parser that Dolittle program with turtle object convert robot program. But this try couldn't overcome completely this problem because attributes of turtle object is different from robot. In this research we unified Dolittle programming and Dolittle robot programming as a way of adding new robot object in dolittle standard object group. it would improve educational effect of learning programming with robot in Dolittle.

Educational robot was introduced as an effective educational tool is to foster scientific creativity and learn the basic principles of science are applied to change the configuration of the educational after-school learning kits for science education. SMEs as a tool to foster scientific creativity center and a variety of educational robot technology and the wide range of games for students and robotic technology development, existing e-Learning by downloading mp3 music or learning content for the robot, such as the provision of specialized content Although the technology is still being developed to take advantage of the professional community formation is insufficient side. Currently, one-point linkage drag Smart Touch control dynamic motor development does not need this motor development is possible for users to easily.

The conventional educational robots, which are commonly industrial robots or toy robots, use text-based programming to teach the students. Therefore, students have difficulty in studying robotics due to the difficulties of text based language. The developed robot in this study have a camera, which have the color tracking function, and it has various sensors and actuators. It supports the open hardware and uses graphic language based programming. The developed educational robot is programmed by Scratch, which uses graphic modular language. We also present a curriculum, which is based upon the developed robot and Scratch. We applied the robot and curriculum to the primary school students. We obtained satisfactory results comparing it with the conventional robot education. Furthermore, the imagination and execution ability of students showed enhancement in learning robotics. Thus, this fact means the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

본 연구는 학습자의 인지발달 단계에 적합한 프로그래밍 언어를 활용하여 모든 학문의 기초 인지 능력인 학습자의 정보과학적 사고 능력을 향상에 미치는 효과를 검증하는 실험연구이다. 과중한 인지적 부담, 문법 위주 등 기존 프로그래밍 학습의 문제점을 보완하고자 등장한 교육용 로봇을 이용하여 실생활 문제해결의 정보과학적 사고능력 향상을 위한 텍스트기반 프로그래밍 언어(TPL)와 비주얼기반의 프로그래밍 언어(VPL) 중 인문계 고등학생의 인지발달 단계에 적합한 프로그래밍 언어에 대한 효과성을 분석하였다. 교육용 로봇 및 로봇 프로그래밍 언어에 대한 선행 연구를 통해 NXT Robot Educator 교육내용을 분석하고 각 단계에 적절한 실생활 과제를 추출하여 로봇 교육용 프로그램을 개발하고 적용하였다. 이 연구는 프로그래밍을 경험이 없는 인문계 고등학교 학생 집단을 선정하여 TPL과 VPL을 활용한 로봇 프로그래밍 수업을 20차시 실시한 후 두 집단 간의 정보과학적 사고능력 향상의 차이를 검증하였다.

In this paper, we analyzed to find out the effects of phonological awareness game using teacher assisted robot on 5-year-old children's reading ability and reading interest. A total of 30 5-year-old children were equally divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group conducted a total of 16 game activities using an educational robot twice a week for three weeks, the control group conducted the same 16 game activities without the robot during the same period. The results are as follows. Firstly, the experimental group was better in reading ability than that of the control group, especially total scores, word meaning, omission, and replacement. Secondly, the experimental group showed more interest in reading than the control group. From these findings, it can be suggested that phonological awareness games using the educational robot lay foundation to developing and enhancing on 5-year-old children's reading abilities and interest in reading.

Robot education has the favorable influence on creativity and problem-solving ability of students. Therefore, it is commonly known to elementary school students, their parents and teacher through robot education for after school and contests. However, it has not been actively taught at university of education students because of the lack of systematic education program. In this paper, we have developed robot education program using problem-based learning and educational robot for pre-service elementary teachers. We have examined their recognition on robot education and education program after applying the developed program. Interviews for improving robot education program were also conducted. We find out robot education program has the favorable influence on the recognition, satisfaction and effectiveness for robot education. In particular, we know that education will related to robot was augmented by this education program.
