본 논문에서는 지식융합시대에 발맞춰 피코크리켓을 활용한 STEAM 기반 학습 프로그램을 개발하고자 한다. STEAM 교육은 Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics 다섯 가지의 학문을 융합적으로 가르치는 교육을 의미한다. 이는 빠르게 변화하고 있는 사회에 적응하고 실생활 문제해결 및 창의적인 사고력을 배양하기 위해서 여러 교과를 같이 융합하여 가르쳐야 한다. 이를 위해 다양한 교육용 로봇을 활용해 STEAM 교육이 진행되고 있으며 이번 연구에서는 피코크리켓을 활용한 학습프로그램을 개발하고자 한다. 피코크리켓은 통합적인 문제상황을 해결하는 과제를 제시하고 해결하는데 유용한 교육용로봇이며 학습프로그램에 효과적으로 활용될 것이다.

According to a comparison study of international academic achievements, Korean students showed high academic achievements in science and mathematics, whereas their learning motivation appeared relatively low. Therefore, this work developed the robot-based STEM integrated education program reflecting an engineering class model. The title of the program is determined as 'animals' which are included in one section of the fourth grade science curriculum, are friendly to students, and are effective for robot application. Robot-based STEM program is consisted of three areas: robot education, subject-related course learning, and engineering education. The STEM program was reviewed by 14 teachers. The study result presented that regardless of knowledge of robot, most teachers gave positive response to program goal, composition of contents, application of robot.

로봇 프로그래밍 교육은 프로그래밍 교육의 문제점을 보완할 수 있는 대안으로 제시되었으나 아직 활성화되지는 못하고 있다. 로봇 프로그래밍 교육의 활성화를 위해서는 교수자 측면 뿐만 아니라 학습자 측면에서 그들에게 필요한 지원 도구가 개발되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 학습자 측면을 고려한 로봇 프로그래밍 지원 도구를 설계하였다. 로봇 프로그래밍 지원 도구는 웹 기반으로 구축되며, 기본 예제 제공 및 우수 예제 선발 기능, 명령어 검색 및 자동완성 기능, 오류 위치 찾기 기능과 도움말, 질문하고 답하기 기능들을 제공하도록 설계하였다. 앞으로 설계된 내용을 바탕으로 로봇 프로그래밍 지원 도구를 개발하고 적용하여 그 효과를 검증해 볼 필요가 있다.

By using robot programming curriculums, we are able to help the learners to improve academic achievement. But these curriculums reduce the level of participation, because most of the robot programming curriculums consists mainly of understanding simple grammatical sentences. Storytelling provides a variety of educational methods to improve logical thinking of children on their experiences and offers positive learning motivations to the learners. In this paper, we proposed the robot programming curriculum using storytelling and implemented the system to support it. By using this curriculum and visualization tools in this system, children can make a robot story and model easily with others. In addition, this robot programming curriculum and system can provide learning motivation and academic achievement to the children continuously.

The internet becomes a new communication tool in the knowledge and information society and the people are expanded at the place of information interchange and exchange of view. In recent robot education institutions provide their own official homepages to introduce the robot educational resources. But because they have restrictive searching the functions and providing general robot education resources and don't offer a place that teachers can express their thoughts and share common interests with other users, online community among teachers for robot education and users couldn't have built. In this paper, we propose an Online Robot Education Community(OREC) that teachers and users in different robot education institutions can interchange or share their technical information, learn robot techniques, participate in discussion of their experiences on work, share their common interests, and be provided updated latest news in real-time.

지식 기반 사회에서는 논리적인 사고를 통해 외부의 자극에서 새로운 가치를 창조하고 스스로 지식을 형성하는 능력이 필요하다. 그리고 컴퓨터 교육의 목적은 기능의 습득이 아니라 습득한 기능을 유기적으로 이용하여 주어진 문제를 해결하는 논리적 사고력의 향상에 있다. 따라서 논리적 사고력을 기를 수 있는 프로그래밍 교육을 학생들에게 지도하여야 한다. 본 연구에서 논 프로그래밍 입문기 학습자들이 갖는 어려움, 즉 프로그래밍 언어의 단어와 문법 암기 따른 부담을 덜고 프로그래밍 학습이 갖는 논리적 알고리즘 탐구에 집중하고자 기존의 구문 중심 프로그래밍 언어가 아닌 아이콘 기반의 비주얼 프로그래밍 도구를 제시한다. 그리고 기존의 프로그래밍 학습에서 아동들이 추상적으로 해 왔던 프로그래밍 과정을 로봇을 이용하여 구체적이고 실험적인 학습을 하도록 하며 아울러 일반 학급에서 적용할 수 있는 로봇 활용 프로그래밍 교육 프로그램을 구상하였다.

Recently, research using robots as a learning tool has increasingly been conducted in K-12 education area. It has been known that hands-on robots give positive educational effect not only on science and mathematics, but on STEAM activity, and help improve the abilities necessary in the 21 century, such as critical thinking, creativity, communication skills, and team work. Despite many research achievements, there is still few research on robot based curriculum to improve the instrumental application of robots in the primary and secondary education fields. In other words, there is a lack of studies of systematic educational contents, educational methods and educational evaluation to increase the instrumental application according to schools and class years. Therefore, this study analyzed domestic and foreign robot based curriculums and relevant cases to develop 'robot' related educational programs in primary school and middle school, suggested the achievement objectives in the robot area as a sub category of the computer science curriculum which will be revised, and proposed teaching-learning method and evaluation method.

Robotics education in elementary school, It is difficult for girls to continue the motivation and willingness to learn because of a negative attitude and low recognition against the machine. In this paper, we studied method to improve the learning attitude through STEAM-based robotics education utilizing storytelling and robot smart learning system for elementary school girls. The curriculum is composed of nine themes which are selected from famous classic fairy tales for girls and we developed robot smart learning system which allows girls to enjoy robot design&control, collaborative learning, and sharing their ideas by using smart-phone. As a t-test results of learning attitude, the two groups showed statistically significant difference, the experimental group was higher average than the control group in terms of learning attitude. The robot smart learning system is effective for collaborative learning activities and maintaining learning motivation of elementary school girls.

This paper proposes an educational robot game framework for novice students in k-12 to learn concepts of programming through interesting experiences. It is designed to be able to enjoy robot games without technical knowledge of robotics and programming. For this, in the proposed robot game framework, educational robots based on line-tracer are used and the programming APls that can be used for various educational programming languages are offered. And the proposed robot game framework also offers a game board to create several games with easy operations. Additionally, through experiments, it shows that novice students are able to create different games that have several game solutions for various programming using this robot game framework.

With the rapid development of mobile services and the prevalence of education robots, robots are being developed to become a part of our lives and they can be utilized to assist teachers in giving education or learning to students. This standard has been proposed to define the degree of autonomy for education robot. The autonomy is an ability to perform a given work based on current state and sensor value without human intervention. The degree of autonomy is a scale indicating the extent of autonomy and it is determined in between 1 and 10 by considering the level of work and human intervention. It has been adapted as per standard and education robots can be utilized in teaching the students autonomously. Education robots can be beneficial in education and it is expected to contribute in assisting the teacher's education.
