Until now, research to integrate art activities and science education have been making steady progress in the field of primary education and early childhood education that are directly involved in the art education of students. However, some science educators were interested in visualizing the artifacts by using design principles and experimental results through STEAM education. So, when conducting lessons for integrating science education with art activities, research is needed on the changing of the students' ability. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of science experiments in collaboration with art activities for students' self-directed learning skills and creative personality in elementary school. This study was applied to 30 students(16 male, 14 female) of 4th grade in Changwon C elementary school. The teaching materials of this study was extracted some of the experiments from the 2007 revised national curriculum in elementary science textbook and 'Teachers for Exciting Science'. Experimental treatment was performed over a total of 10 class 5 subjects and a pre-post test was conducted through G-TAGAS. As a result, science experiments in collaboration with art activities have improved significantly students' self-directed learning skills and creative personality.

In this paper, we analyzed to find out the effects of phonological awareness game using teacher assisted robot on 5-year-old children's reading ability and reading interest. A total of 30 5-year-old children were equally divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group conducted a total of 16 game activities using an educational robot twice a week for three weeks, the control group conducted the same 16 game activities without the robot during the same period. The results are as follows. Firstly, the experimental group was better in reading ability than that of the control group, especially total scores, word meaning, omission, and replacement. Secondly, the experimental group showed more interest in reading than the control group. From these findings, it can be suggested that phonological awareness games using the educational robot lay foundation to developing and enhancing on 5-year-old children's reading abilities and interest in reading.
