With the growing acceptance of the educational benefits for the use of robot- based teaching, their use in classrooms is increasing. However, the vast majority of studies taking place are based within normal classroom environment. Therefore, this study was focused on the adaptations that need to be made for the use of robot-based teaching within a special-needs environment, specifically a program for pre-service teachers of a special needs Elementary school. The results indicate robot-based teaching has a place within special education and it is hoped that this study will spur further investigation into the field.

As robots are proved to be effective in enhancing students' creativity and problem-solving abilities and satisfying various needs in special education for the gifted, many students participate in private education and after-school robot classes. However, it is difficult for students in the lower social economy class to use robots for their learning because of the high expense of robots. On this point, as a part of u-Learnng project, this research attempts to provide students in the lower social economy class with the opportunities to use robots for one year. At the end of the year, we will compare the experimental group and the control group in order to examine learning effects of using robots. Until now we have found many cases that show positive effects of the use of robots in students' learning.

In this study, we examine the effects of SW education using robot on flow in elementary school. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, SW education using robot was conducted to 155 students. In addition, we examined mean difference using matched pair t-test and ANCOVA. Our results show that SW education using robot significantly improved flow. Further, flow was not associated with gender. This study was investigated effects of the SW education using robot and identify differences depending on gender, and expanded the understanding of the SW education using robot.

The purpose of this study was to analyze domestic research trends of software education using robot, and find out implications for studies. The 108 articles from 2006 to 2016 in terms of software education using robot were analyzed. Results showd that there has been the growing number of articles, the development research was most frequently used in those studies. And most articles were studies on elementary school students. There used programming such as Scratch, NXT-G etc. and utilized robot likes Mindstorms series, Picocriket etc. Also, there applied to PBL, CPS etc. on software education using robot. Finally, Positive results were shown in learners' cognitive and affective domain. This research has an significance in terms of verifying the educational implications of software education using robot, and offering the direction of software education using robot in the future.

세계적으로 로봇 산업이 차세대 신성장 동력 산업으로 급부상하여 인간과 상호작용 즉 HRI 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있는데, 최근 들어 로봇의 교육적 활용 연구가 시작되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 교사 보조 로봇의 수업에서의 활용 가능성을 보기위해 사전에 만화 시나리오를 통한 적합한 교과목 후보를 정하였고, 초등학생 6학년의 기대역할을 갖는 프로토타입 로봇을 설계 개발하여 후보 교과목 수업에 활용하는 실험을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 아동이 로봇에게 기대하는 역할이 실험자의 의도와 일치하는지와 교육적 효과 제고에 기여를 하는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과, 아동은 교사 보조 로봇을 자신보다 약간 높은 나이로 인식하고, 친근하지만 자신보다 우월하여 자신을 이끌어 줄 수 있는 역할을 기대한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 교사 보조 로봇 활용이 교사와 아동의 흥미 유발에 있어 매우 효과적임을 보여, 향후 교사 보조 로봇은 ICT 활용 교육의 또 다른 매체로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

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.

The study is to review the effects of learning with a robot among regular courses of elementary and middle schools so that the research method of systematic review for papers from 2001 and 2013 was conducted. The database for review were KISS, DBpia, and E-article and it was searched with two options of 'robot & education' and 'learning with a robot'. Initially, 481 papers were searched; but finally 50 were selected after monitoring and extraction execution in line with protocol. Great volume of researches focused on academic skill such as a creativity, problem solving skills and as for research methods, Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design and t-test took the lion's share. As for educational effects, improvements of course interest, immersion, attitude, motivation, creativeness and problem solving skills were identified; but in some researches, insignificant research outcomes were reported. Based on analysis results, considerations for learning with a robot were suggested.

학업성취도를 결정짓는 중요한 변인 중 한 가지는 학습에 대해 학습자가 가지는 흥미이다. 따라서 보다 효과적인 로봇 프로그래밍 교육을 위해서는 학생이 로봇에 대해 가지는 흥미를 높여주는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 초등학생이 로봇에 대해 가지는 흥미를 향상시키기 위해 WeDo 2.0을 활용한 로봇 프로그래밍 교육을 실시한 후 효과를 검증하였다. 그 결과, WeDo 2.0을 활용한 로봇 프로그래밍 교육이 로봇 학습에 대한 흥미와 로봇 학습에 대한 자신감 향상에 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 본 연구는 WeDo 2.0 활용 로봇 프로그래밍 교육을 실시한 집단만을 대상으로 하여 진행되었으므로 통제집단과의 비교를 통해 보다 정확한 변인을 조사하는 후속 연구가 진행될 필요가 있다.

'Learning with a robot' is now considered as one of the best candidates for STEAM education, which is recently growing its importance. Most of the 'learning with a robot' programs in elementary schools serve as afterschool classes. The students participating in the afterschool classes are mostly boys who are interested in science and robots. This paper mainly concerns that a robot can be helpful for improving students' interest in STEAM education. We divided the robot utilizable aspects into 5 areas with educational points of view; abstract concept understanding type, structure-oriented type, athletics-oriented type, intelligence-oriented type and value-orientated type. We extracted all robot utilizable subjects and units from elementary school curriculum, and developed lesson plans which can be applicable to regular classes. And we also verified them by applying into an elementary school for 5 months. As the result of the analysis, we can conclude that 'learning with a robot' can encourage students' interest in STEAM, and it is more effective for girls than boys. Finally, we discuss problems that teachers may face in using a robot for regular classes, and make suggestions about the use of a robot for STEAM education.

본 연구는 초등학교에서 로봇 활용 SW 교육을 실시하고 사전 수준 및 성별에 따라 효과에 차이가 있는지 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경기도의 A 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생 155명을 대상으로 로봇 활용 SW 교육을 실시하였으며, 수집된 자료는 대응 표본 t 검정, 일원분산분석, 공분산분석을 통해 평균의 차이를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 로봇 활용 SW 교육을 실시한 후 학생들의 컴퓨팅사고력과 창의성이 유의하게 향상되었으나, 컴퓨팅사고력 수준이 상 집단인 학생들은 유의한 향상을 나타내지 않았다. 또한 학생들의 컴퓨팅사고력은 성별의 차이가 없었으나, 창의성은 성별에 따른 차이가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 사전 수준과 성별에 따른 로봇 활용 SW 교육의 효과를 규명하여 로봇 활용 SW 교육에 대한 이해를 확장시켰다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다.
