기술의 발전에 따라 사회, 경제, 산업에서 다양한 변화를 겪고 있다. 이러한 변화를 4차 산업 혁명이라고 부르며, 이러한 변화를 주도하는 기술로 로봇이 주목받고 있다. 로봇은 다양한 연구에서 교육적 효과가 뛰어나다는 것이 확인되었고, 이에 따라 로봇을 교육에 도입하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만, 로봇교육과 관련된 다양한 요인이 로봇 교육의 활성화를 저해하고 있었다. 특히, 다른 나라에 비해 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도는 부정적이었으며, 이러한 부정적인 태도는 2015 개정 교육과정에서 로봇 교육의 어려움을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도와 다양한 요인에 따른 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 대상은 K 대학에 다니고 있는 317명의 예비 교사이었으며, 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 측정하기 위하여 선행 연구에서 활용한 Negative Attitude towards Robots Scale(NARS)를 사용하였다. NARS를 통하여 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 살펴본 결과, 성별에 따라 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 차이가 나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 로봇을 조작한 경험과 로봇 관련 강의를 수강한 여부가 로봇에 대한 태도가 차이 나게 만드는 요소인 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 반대로 매체를 통한 로봇을 접촉한 경험은 로봇에 대한 태도에 관련이 없었다. 이와 같은 연구를 통하여 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도에 미치는 요인을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 향후 연구에서는 예비 교사의 로봇에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 바꾸기 위한 방안에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

In Korea, pre-service teachers' negative attitude toward robots keep them from being applied in schools. To cope with these obstacles, this study examines the change of pre-service teachers' attitude toward robots after adopting robot programming. To prove the program's effect, pre-service teachers were divided into three groups, including each group taking pre-and post-tests. After analyzing the pre-tests, none of the groups showed any difference; however, they did show significant differences in the post-tests. A paired sample t-test was conducted in each group for investigating the change. Those who took ICT and programming education did not show a change. However, those who took robot programming education did show a statistically significant difference.

As the fourth industrial revolution has progressed globally, computing education is progressing centered on robots. However, pre-service teachers' attitudes toward robots were negative in previous studies. In order to solve this problem, this study analyzed the difference in the attitude of the pre-service teachers to the robot according to the factors. The subjects of this study were 309 pre-service teachers attending K university. In order to measure the attitude of the pre-service teacher to the robot, the negative attitude measure for the robot was used. And, in order to measure the attitude of the pre-service teachers to the robots, negative attitude measurement scale was used. As a result, pre-service teachers showed different attitudes toward robots according to gender, experience of robot manipulation, and experiences of robot-related lectures. Especially, when the gender was male than female, and the experience of robot manipulation and the experiences of robot-related lectures, the attitude of pre-service teachers to robot was positive.

In this study, eye tracking was used for the appearance of the robot during the social robot design study. During the research, each part of the social robot was designated as AOI (Areas of Interests), and the user's attitude was measured through a design evaluation questionnaire to construct a design research model of the social robot. The data used in this study are Fixation, First Visit, Total Viewed, and Revisits as eye tracking indicators, and AOI (Areas of Interests) was designed with the face, eyes, lips, and body of the social robot. And as design evaluation questionnaire questions, consumer beliefs such as Face-highlighted, Human-like, and Expressive of social robots were collected and as a dependent variable was attitude toward robots. Through this, we tried to discover the mechanism that specifically forms the user's attitude toward the robot, and to discover specific insights that can be referenced when designing the robot.

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.

In this study, we conduct SW education using robot in elementary school, to examine the effects of SW education using robot and identify differences dependeing on the presence of assistance teacher. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, SW education using robot was conducted to 29 students. After collecting data, we examined mean difference using matched pair t-test and ANCOVA. Our results show that SW education using robot significantly improved CT and attitudes toward robots. CT, however, was not significantly improved in control group. Further, although improvement in attitudes toward robots was not associated with presence of assistance teacher, presence of assistance teacher did play a role in improvement of CT. This study was investigated effects of the SW education using robot and identify differences depending on the presence of assistant teacher, and expanded the understanding of the SW education using robot.

In this study, the effectiveness of the education program was analyzed through the invention education program using Hands-on Robots, the change of perception of invention and robots of primary and secondary students. The results of the study were as follows: there were many differences in robots that students recognized before and after education, and the change was noticeable in lower grades. In addition, perception of inventions included many robots after they were trained, compared to the fact that robots were not included before they were learned. There has also been a change in attitudes toward robots and their attitude toward inventions, which was more pronounced in the lower grades. By doing so, it can be analyzed that the invention education program using Hands-on robots is effective in giving elementary and secondary students a change in their perception of inventions and robots.

Tosolve complex and diverse social problems and ensure the quality of life of individuals, social robots that can interact with humans are attracting attention. In the past, robots were recognized as beings that provide labor force as they put into industrial sites on behalf of humans. However, the concept of today's robot has been extended to social robots that coexist with humans and enable social interaction with the advent of Smart technology, which is considered an important driver in most industries. Specifically, there are service robots that respond to customers, the robots that have the purpose of edutainment, and the emotionalrobots that can interact with humans intimately. However, popularization of robots is not felt despite the current information environment in the modern ICT service environment and the 4th industrial revolution. Considering social interaction with users which is an important function of social robots, not only the technology of the robots but also other factors should be considered. The design elements of the robot are more important than other factors tomake consumers purchase essentially a social robot. In fact, existing studies on social robots are at the level of proposing "robot development methodology" or testing the effects provided by social robots to users in pieces. On the other hand, consumer emotions felt from the robot's appearance has an important influence in the process of forming user's perception, reasoning, evaluation and expectation. Furthermore, it can affect attitude toward robots and good feeling and performance reasoning, etc. Therefore, this study aims to verify the effect of appearance of social robot and consumer emotions on consumer's attitude toward social robot. At this time, a social robot design evaluation model is constructed by combining heterogeneous data from different sources. Specifically, the three quantitative indicator data for the appearance of social robots from the ABOT Database is included in the model. The consumer emotions of social robot design has been collected through (1) the existing design evaluation literature and (2) online buzzsuch as product reviews and blogs, (3) qualitative interviews for social robot design. Later, we collected the score of consumer emotions and attitudes toward various social robots through a large-scale consumer survey. First, we have derived the six major dimensions of consumer emotions for 23 pieces of detailed emotions through dimension reduction methodology. Then, statistical analysis was performed to verify the effect of derived consumer emotionson attitude toward social robots. Finally, the moderated regression analysis was performed to verify the effect of quantitatively collected indicators of social robot appearance on the relationship between consumer emotions and attitudes toward social robots. Interestingly, several significant moderation effects were identified, these effects are visualized with two-way interaction effect to interpret them from multidisciplinary perspectives. This study has theoretical contributions from the perspective of empirically verifying all stages from technical properties to consumer's emotion and attitudes toward social robots by linking the data from heterogeneous sources. It has practical significance that the result helps to develop the design guidelines based on consumer emotions in the design stage of social robot development.
