To solve the digital divide of the elderly, various institutions are educating how to use various smart devices for the elderly. However, it cannot be expected to have a great effect due to the disadvantages of instructor-to-face education and the learning characteristics of the elderly. Accordingly, educational contents using digital devices using robots for the elderly were developed. In this study, Evaluation Indicators were developed to evaluate the usability of digital education using robots. Also, by using usability evaluation based on the developed Evaluation Indicators, we tried to verify the usability of education using robots and to confirm the possibility of expanding the application area. In order to successfully apply the developing robot technology to various fields, it is essential to verify the usability of contents using robots, and this study on Evaluation Indicators and Evaluation methods is expected to serve as a foundation.

Recently, a variety of methodologies based on the use of educational coding robots have been proposed and experimented in newly emerging korean educational coding markets. Due to imprecise movement accuracy of the existing coding robots, however, such robots are mainly used as a toy. Inspired by these observations, we developed a simple adjustment method during robot movements, which is based on the observation results of 6 line-tracking sensors: 3 sensors in the center of a robot and other 3 sensors at the front. These sensors help to determine whether the robot is in the right location and whether it rotates as expected. Through the well-designed experiments, we report the effectiveness of our proposed solution: the average distance error of 1.57cm and the average degree error of 2.38 degree before and after complex movements. In near future, we hope our method to be popularly used in various educational coding robot platforms.

The Code Block Based Educational Programming Language(EPL) is the mainstream tool for software education for elementary students. However, Code Block Based EPL has limitations in scalability, even though there are many advantages as an introductory tool for software education. In this study, we searched the approach of SW education using Python, which is a text-based programming language actively used in real industrial field. We developed a learning program and model using Python and applied it to the sixth grade elementary school students for 10 hours. As a result, we found that the robot-based Python learning model had a significant effect on improving students' thinking skills and confirmed the applicability of text-based programming language to elementary school students.

Current computer education is moving its focus from using oriented education to improving students' creativity and problem solving ability by computer science education. Robot programming education is becoming a major research issue of computer education in the context of creativity education. One of the mainstream ideas of prior research about robot programming is the effect of robot programming. Another is curriculum development of robot programming. But, the focus of current research is moving toward teaching methods of robot programming. The theme of this research is to use examples in robot programming. Example programs are considered the most useful type of material both by the students and the teachers. Example programs play a important role in learning to program. They work as templates, guidelines, and hints for learners when developing their own programs. In this study, I developed a example-based robot programming support system. Due to the trends of smart learning, I developed this system as a mobile web application.

Educational learning methods that take advantage of a robot provide opportunities for students to develop high dimensional thinking, a creative expression and discovery learning opportunity. It is also perceived as a suitable tool for STEAM systems which can be used in a variety of school curriculums. Therefore we designed and developed STEAM educational contents using robots in this study. This study analyze elementary text books and design the convergence contents from various subjects such as math, science, engineering and art through a robot. This study has developed educational materials by making a robot based on the designed contents. They have been applied to after school materials and then evaluated for comprehension, interest and participation. The results of this study have shown very encouraging evaluations from participating students. Accordingly, this study has shown that STEAM contents that take advantage of a robot have improved student participation, interests, and comprehension in the curriculums. Additionally, integrating STEAM educational content has proved more effective in contrast to being separated.

This paper presents the design and implementation of the educational remote controlled robot system including remote sensing in the embedded environment. The design of sensing information processing, software design and template design mechanism for the programming practice are introduced. LPC1769 using Cortex-M3 core as CPU, LPCXPRESSO as debugging environment, C language as firmware development language and FreeRTOS as OS are used in development environment. The control command is received via RF communication by the server and the robot system which is operated by driving the various sensors. The educational procedure is from robot demo operation program as hands-on practice and then compiling, loading of the basic robot operation program, already supplied. Thereafter the verification is checked by using the basic robot operation to allow demo operation such as hands-on-training procedure. The original protocol is designed via RF communication between server and robot system, and the satisfied performance result is presented by analyzing the robot sensing data processing.

Most of the robot programming curriculums consists mainly of understanding robot programming language and learning a simple grammatical sentences rather than logical problem solving process, these curriculums impose a burden on childrens' learning. Storytelling offers opportunities for continuation of childrens' positive learning motivation to practice symbolic manipulations, hold multiple abstract concepts in their heads, and create meaning between these ideas. In this paper, to overcome the difficulty of robot programming curriculum in elementary school and find teaching method which derives the childrens' motivation, we used storytelling in study of our robot programming curriculum.

프로그래밍 학습은 프로그램의 작성, 오류 수정, 실행을 통해 학습자의 문제 해결력과 논리적 사고력을 향상시킨다. 따라서 프로그래밍 언어는 쉽고 익히기 쉬어야 한다. 또한, 초등학생은 Piaget의 인지적 발달 단계로 볼 때 구체적 조작기(concrete operational period: 6, 7$\sim$11, 12세)에 해당하는 시기이다. 이 시기는 구체적인 사물을 가지고 조작함으로써 논리적 사고가 가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 프로그래밍이라는 매우 추상적인 작업을 로봇이라는 구체물을 통해 결과를 확인할 수 있게 하였으며, 프로그래밍 학습의 초기 단계에 있는 초등학생이 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 한글을 기반으로 프로그래밍 학습을 할 수 있도록 하고, DB를 활용하여 명령어를 사용자가 추가, 삭제, 수정할 수 있는 한글 기반의 로봇 프로그래밍 도구를 설계 및 개발하였다.

Currently, the robot is widely utilized in various educational settings such as after-school classes, and special classes for gifted students. The robot is widely recognized as a useful tool for helping students solve problems. The core activities of programming learning with robot need to provide various problem contexts to the students and guide students' problem solving process. Students gain cognitive and affective benefits when they solve problems with robots. This paper describes the impact of programming learning using robot based on schoolwide enrichment model on elementary school students' creative potential. As a result, the students of experimental group than the students of the control group improved creative personality and ideational behavior, and the gifted students of experimental group than the gifted students of control group improved ideational behavior.
