It is the advantage of robot programming to improve the learners' interest. However, the drawback is existed in the fact that it is not easy to determine whether the problem lies in the hardware factor or programmed logic when an error takes place. This study is an attempt to develop a simulation tool which assists learners to concentrate on the problems not relating to robot assembling but to robot program. It aims to enable beginners make a sketch of their ideas and examine their logic through simulation. Therefore, an Etoys-based robot programming tool is developed to allows user to download and execute the simulated program into an assembled robot. The significance of this study is that easy activity of sketch-based simulation can support learners to understand how the principles of computer science are applied in daily life such as an automatic door system.

본 연구에서는 지식 정보화 사회에 필요한 창의성 신장을 위한 효과적인 교육방법을 모색하는데 목적을 두고 두리틀 교육과 로봇교육을 각각 10차시 분량의 교육과정을 개발하고, 창의성 신장을 위한 창의성 수업모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 교육과정을 창의성 수업 모형에 따라 적용하였다. 또한 창의성 구성요소를 창의적 사고능력, 창의성 성격면으로 나누어 검사하였으며, 창의적 사고능력은 유창성, 융통성, 독창성 면을 측정하였으며, 창의적 성격은 호기심, 민감성, 집착력 면을 측정하였다. 측정 결과 비교반(일반수업) 보다 실험반(두리틀 교육, 로봇교육)의 창의성이 신장되었으며, 두리틀 교육보다 로봇교육이 창의성 신장에 도움이 됨을 알 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 아동들의 창의성 신장을 위한 효과적인 교육방법을 제안하는데 목적이 있다.

로봇교육은 여러 전자부품, 회로 등의 기계, 공학적인 교육뿐만 아니라 컴퓨터 프로그래밍, 디지털 기초 등의 컴퓨터 관련 교육까지 경험할 수 있다는 점에서 교육적 가능성과 활용가지가 매우 높다. 지금까지 단순한 기술 습득에 치중한 컴퓨터교육에 있어서, 알고리즘 및 프로그래밍 등의 창의력과 논리적인 문제해결력 향상을 중심으로 한 로봇교육은 정보과학영재교육에서 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 정보과학영재교육의 특징을 분석하고 정보과학영재의 창의성을 키우기 위한 로봇교육과정을 개발하였다.

로봇의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라 2019년부터 초등 실과 교과에 로봇 교육이 포함된다. 그러나 일부 초등학교에서 현행되고 있는 로봇 교육은 학습자가 완성된 형태의 로봇을 조작하는 데 그친다는 점에서 구성주의 학습원리에 어긋난다. 구성주의 학습원리에 따르면 학습자는 각자에게 의미 있는 독창적인 모델을 중심으로 자신만의 세계를 만들고 그 속에서 지식을 구성해 나가야만 진정한 학습이 일어난다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 구성주의 학습원리에 기반한 초등 로봇 교육의 도구로서 WeDo 2.0을 소개하고 로봇 교육 도구로서 WeDo 2.0이 갖는 활용가능성을 탐색하였다. WeDo 2.0은 학습자에게 첫째, 자발적 학습환경, 둘째, 창의적 학습환경, 셋째, 체계적 학습환경, 넷째, 통합적 학습환경, 다섯째, 구성주의 학습환경을 제공한다. 이에 따라 향후 초등 로봇 교육에서 WeDo 2.0을 활용한 구체적인 교육 프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the research trend of robot education for young children and elementary students as a basic study for the development of hands-on robot program for young children. Trends by year, research contents, and effectiveness of 155 dissertations and journal papers from 2006 to May 2016 related to robot education for young children and elementary students were analyzed. The results were as follows. In the research subject, research was conducted in the order of integrated education, attitudes and awareness research, and response research for young children and programming education, design development research, and integrated education for elementary students. In the research method, observational research and development research were the most common in young children and elementary students, respectively. In the effectiveness validation, research on social and emotional interaction and research on creativity were the most common in young children and elementary students, respectively. Based on the results of this study, the analysis provided basic data for the development of programs for young children's hands-on robot activities and suggested the direction and implications of robot education in connection with SW education of young children and elementary students.

In this study, we selected an educational robot as a suitable tool to support algorithm learning for middle school learners through comparative analysis of various tools. Educational robot can provide tangible experiences for abstract concepts of algorithms. Therefore, we developed an algorithm learning program with educational robots to enhance intrinsic motivation and creative problem solving ability for middle school learners. Also, we implemented the developed program in middle schools and analysed the educational effects of the program. We found that the algorithm learning program with robots was helpful in enhancing learners' intrinsic motivation about algorithm learning and creative problem solving potential. These findings may offer useful direction for designing teaching and learning program for algorithm education. These results can be used as a basis for study on designing and developing algorithm learning program.

The purpose of this paper is to develop an unplugged education program that develops the 4C (Creativity, Critical thinking, Communication ability, Collaboration) and CT (Computational Thinking) competencies required in modern society. This study discovered "Fine Dust Robot" as a theme suitable for the unplugged education program, and designed the Unplugged 4-hour education program which can develop 4C and CT competencies. The first stage motivates learning, and the second and third stages develop unplugged activity to develop CT. In the fourth stage, the algorithms created through unplugged activities were programmed through the natural language instruction card and produced the output. We developed educational materials that can be utilized in the unplugged education program. Finally, education programs were conducted for elementary school students, and pre- and post-tests of computational thinking were conducted for general students and gifted students. Educational effective was found in both groups.

Virtual Robot Education System (VRES), which is for programming education with a Lego Mindstorm NXT robot, is designed and implemented. Through this system, program learners can edit source code, compile, download it into the robot, and run their executive program. In order to observe it, the system includes web cameras and provide monitoring services. Thus, students are able to verify the operation of robot into which they download their program in detail and to debug if necessary. In addition, we design a new simple user-friendly programming language and a corresponding compiler for it. With those tools, learner can more easily create programs for NXT robot and test them than Java language. A educator can control and manage the robot for the subject of a class with direct control mode of our system. Therefore, the proposed system is able to support students to learn robot programming during or after regular classes with web browsers through Internet.

로봇 산업은 계속 성장 하고 있으나 개발 인력은 부족한 현실이다. 그래서 정부나 기업은 로봇 개발인력을 양성하기 위한 프로그램을 활성화 하고 있다. 다양한 환경에 적용할 수 있는 장점 때문에 다관절로봇은 실제 산업에서 활용도가 높다. 또한 다관절 로봇은 다양한 동작 응용으로 창의력과 응용력을 키울 수 있어 교육에 적합하다. 그러나 다관절 로봇은 많은 수의 모터를 동시에 제어해야 하기 때문에 전문적인 지식이 없을 경우 개발하기 어렵다. 다관절로봇을 교육에 응용하기 위해서는 누구나 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 제어 방법을 제공해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 다관절 로봇의 효율적인 동작제어를 위한 기술을 구현하여 피교육자가 로봇을 쉽고 빠르게 개발할 수 있었다. 적용사례로 18개의 모터가 사용되는 6족로봇에 제안한 방법을 사용하여 동작 개발과정을 보여주었다.
