본 연구는 프로그래밍 학습에서 교육용 로봇인 피코크리켓을 활용하여 동료지도학습을 실시하고 학업성취와 교우관계에 미치는 영향에 대해서 효과를 검증하는 실험연구이다. 프로그래밍 학습은 다양한 학습효과에도 불구하고 문법의 어려움과 학습내용의 어려움 때문에 그 효과를 제대로 발휘하지 못하고 있다. 그러나 교육용 로봇에서 사용하는 프로그래밍 언어는 입문자를 배려한 프로그래밍 방법을 사용하여 학습자가 쉽게 다가갈 수 있는 요소가 있다. 한편 프로그래밍 교육은 타 학습내용에 비해 수준별 학습이 더욱 요구되는 학습내용으로서 일제식 수업방법으로는 지도의 어려움이 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교육용 로봇을 활용하여 프로그래밍 교육을 동료지도학습법으로 실시하고 이의 학업성취와 교우관계에 미치는 영향을 탐색해 보는 연구를 설계하였다.

Dolittle is a educational programming language that helps students learning principles and concepts of computer science with programming. Learning programming with robot improve learning achievements robot motivate to be interest with programming. However, Dolittle robot programming is a different from Dolittle programming in process of interpretation and execution mechanism. Therefore, students have virtually to learn two languages to control robot and it would reduce the worth of Dolittle as educational programming language. In order to solve this problem, we tried to Unify Dolittle and robot control language using parser that Dolittle program with turtle object convert robot program. But this try couldn't overcome completely this problem because attributes of turtle object is different from robot. In this research we unified Dolittle programming and Dolittle robot programming as a way of adding new robot object in dolittle standard object group. it would improve educational effect of learning programming with robot in Dolittle.

The utilization of robots in programming education students the interest and motivation of learning. But at the same time the robot is required that understanding of the structure and understand the internal program(programming). So what problems are caused by error or if the student has difficulty identifying. The purpose of this study is the use of simulation tool in robot programming education possibilities will want to see. Elementary school students to analyze the possibility of non-simulation tool and simulation tool was applied. And usability evaluation and simulation tool, the survey recognized the potential of the education were analyzed. As a result, the usability of between simulation tool and non-simulation tool and there was no difference. And student can preview the results of programming and simulation tool can easily identify errors for recognizing the positive respectively. Based on this results, simulation tool can be utilized in robot education.

Recently, robot programming education are suggested for elementary students. However, the degree of class participation of female students was low because of the failure of the recognition of female students' inclination when they chose contents and instructional strategies. Thus, this paper analyzed the gender differences of interests of elementary students have in robot programming through questionnaire and suggested the robot programming instructional strategies considered gender differences through reviewing literature in such areas as gender differences in computer learning and programming learning, and effective instructional strategies. Furthermore, the validity of the instructional strategies which are suggested was verified by experts. Through this research, the researcher expects for the researcher findings to be bases for a more active participation of female students in computer field.

STEAM education is a topic-based curriculum to integrate the concepts into other subjects such as science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in order to improve the students' interesting, understanding, integrated thinking and problem solving ability. In this paper, we designed STEAM curriculum in the form of Project-based Learning and developed the material for elementary students. We also developed the android-based application through searching for a utilization of IT simulation for enhancement the students' Project-based Learning effect.

According to the rapid growth and popularization of the SMART device, the society is being changed greatly and importance of SW education is being emphasized. Also many student have a lot of interests about mobile application programming. The latest study suggests using the robots in the programming education may help to induce learners' interest and motivation, participation, achievement. So in this research, I designed a programming educational plan for SW education using robot and mobile application development tool(App Inventor) and applied them. And I conducted a survey four ares such as class, robot, App Inventor, robot and App Inventor. As a result, learner's response of interest and satisfaction was very positive commonly at four areas. In particular, learners could get programming result immediately using smart phone and could control the robot using smart phone, so learner's interest had increased especially. The conclusion is that suggested plan for SW education using robot and mobile application development tool is useful for programming education.

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.

본 연구에서는 Atmel사의 AVR 마이크로프로세서에 적합하게 개발된 Java 바이트코드 인터프리터인 NanoVM을 자체 개발한 마이크로로봇에 이식하여 Java 언어 전용 로봇을 구현하였다. 따라서 마이크로프로세서의 구조와 회로를 모르는 학생들도 로봇을 프로그래밍하면서 Java 언어를 효율적으로 학습할 수 있다. 더욱이 최근 학생들의 프로그래밍언어 학습 능력이 떨어지면서 컴퓨터 관련학과의 프로그래밍언어 교육이 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 학생들의 프로그래밍언어 학습 동기를 부여하고 창의 공학적 프로그래밍언어 교육프로그램의 도입이 필요한 시점에서 본 연구에서 개발한 Java 로봇은 많은 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.

To help programming learning, we have designed a robot programming course that improves complex cognitive abilities. The developed course was implemented in college programming classes and educational effects were analysed. While students are learning through LEGO Mindstorms NXT and NXT-G software, the students' problem solving abilities have been enhanced. The developed robot programming course gives positive effects on learners' problem solving abilities. It means that the developed course helps a learner in a cognitive domain.

The revised 7th education course of information implies that students use variety of information devices to solve the common problems and it also includes the programming education for improving problem-solving abilities. Not only improving problem-solving abilities but also developing thinking skill is expected in programming education. However, traditional programming education is teacher-oriented and focused on language syntax. Accordingly, students have heavy cognitive load and it decrease students' interest of programming. Therefore, in this paper, a instructional method of programming using educational robot is proposed to improve interest of elementary students in concretive operation stage for effectiveness of programming education. Additionally, results of experiments show that proposed robot programming instructional method can be applied in elementary education.
