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.

에듀 게임 시장은 지난 몇 년간 온라인 게임 시장만큼 많이 발전되고 변화되어 왔다. 과거 지나치게 학습 효과만을 중시하여 소비자에게 외면당했던 교육용 게임들이 온라인과 에듀테인먼트와 결합하면서 새로운 성능과 귀여운 캐릭터 등으로 업그레이드 돼 새롭게 각광을 받기도 하고, 새롭게 주목을 끌고 있는 에듀 게임 사이트들도 대거 등장하였다. 에듀 게임의 대상 연령도 아동이나 청소년에서 일반인으로까지 확대되고 있다. 반면, 에듀 게임으로 학생들 사이에서도 잘 알려져 있으면서도 유료화 및 기타 운영문제로 이용자 수가 급감하여 결국 사이트가 폐쇄된 경우도 허다했다. 이렇듯 수많은 에듀테인먼트 콘텐츠들이 생겼다 사라지기를 반복하는 동안 이들에 대한 명확한 평가 기준이 부족하고 또한 제대로 평가되지 않아 우수한 콘텐츠들이 사라지거나 질적 정보를 얻기가 어려울 뿐아니라 교수 학습활동에서도 우수한 콘텐츠를 선정하고 활용하기가 매우 불편하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수요자에게 양질의 에듀테인먼트 콘텐츠 선정 활용을 권장할 수 있는 정확한 정보와 기준을 제공하고, 개발자에게는 품질 평가의 기준을 제시함으로써 에듀테인먼트 콘텐츠 개발의 올바른 방향을 제공하고자 한다.

코로나19로 인해 가정에서 2-7세 아동이 혼자 있는 시간이 증가하였다. 피아제 이론에 따르면, 2-7세 아동은 전조작기 시기에 해당하는 아동이다. 전조작기 시기에는 직관적 사고력이 강하여 놀이를 통해 보존개념을 발달시키는 것이 중요하다. 하지만 보존개념을 발달시킬 수 있는 아동을 위한 적절한 교육놀이용 도구가 부족한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 아두이노 프로세싱을 이용한 아동 놀이기구를 제안한다.

Emotion is very important feature in educational situation. Because it has high influence to memory, educational achievement, motivation. This study tried to find out possibility of serious game as emotional engagement tool in educational situation. We did our pilot experiment to elementary school students who are english as second language. In this L2 learning situation, we did our basic experiment with English language learning serious game called 'Word Collectrian". Word Collectrian has some features for emotional engagement. It has interaction for dynamic word visualization, providing context video for word usage, putting visualized word on learner's virtual home. According to experimental result, word Collectrian has possibility for educational achievement and emotional engagement effect.

초등학교 정보통신기술 교육에서 새롭게 실시되는 프로그래밍 교육을 위해 로봇 프로그래밍에 대한 관심이 어느 때보다 고조되고 있다. 교육용 로봇을 이용한 프로그래밍교육은 학습자가 로봇을 직접 제작하고 프로그램을 작성하여 실행시키는 과정을 통하여 프로그래밍의 원리뿐만 아니라 학습자의 창의력과 문제해결력 신장에도 많은 도움을 준다. 이러한 로봇 프로그래밍 교육을 활성화시키기 위하여 본 연구에서는 초등학교 아동의 발달 수준에 맞게 게임, 가상체험, 시뮬레이션 기법 등을 적용한 학습 지원시스템을 설계하고자 한다. 이를 통하여 학습자는 고가의 비용을 들이지 않고도 기존의 인터넷 환경에서 접근하여 가상의 로봇을 통하여 재미있고 흥미롭게 프로그래밍기법 및 알고리즘에 대해 쉽게 원리를 배울 수 있는 기회를 제공하고자 한다.

"Ito2", an early childhood educational coding game that allows students to learn sequential, loop, and conditional statement concepts through games is introduced. The developed game is a two-stage process of mock and practical classes for children in actual nursing cares, and coding education is conducted for actual children to determine its effectiveness. The degree of change is observed by observing trends in childhood cognitive development performance in all six areas, including parts and the overall, space, observation, shape and measurement, classification, comparison, and listing, as the coding training is conducted. In this paper, the improvement of cognitive development and spatial perceptual abilities were achieved by children playing games with infant functional coding with fun elements plus learning factors.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the existing augmented reality (AR) contents in education and to develop digital AR contents to promote the learning outcomes in nursing skills education. AR contents has been widely used in education such as children's books, coloring, or exhibition experiences, but rarely developed in nursing education. We wanted to develop AR contents on nursing skills which required memorization of complex contents. In order to improve nursing students' memorization skills, we developed AR techniques holding and executing cameras along with game elements of time and points. In order to give the effect of placing objects in front of the user's eyes, an augmented reality camera was applied, and a total of 40 levels were created to produce the sequence of nursing techniques. This study showed that learning contents in the medical field requiring expertise could be implemented as AR contents. The content developed in this study will be used as a learning aid for nursing students.

With the development of digital technology and the increasing demand for learning how to improve one's ability to solve problems through play and participation interactions, a variety of edutainment game contents are being developed. The edutainment game contents developed until recently have received a large number of contents for intelligence development and transfer of knowledge such as Korean and English mathematics for children and children. Recently, there have been various researches on the necessity and effect of STEAM education that foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit through the fusion education method among the subjects including science, technology, engineering, mathematics, And there is a growing need for the development of a parish suitable for STEAM education. However, there is a lack of STEAM educational content development that incorporates the technology of creative convergence talent training to develop talented people who can think and solve problems by crossing various academic boundaries. Therefore, this study develops game contents for early childhood education by combining STEAM education which foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit. And we designed and implemented STEAM game contents for infant learning education which can induce the interest of children and have fun by using gyroscope sensor of smartphone.

As the existing edutainment contents for children are mostly comprised of educational tools which unilaterally induce educatees to passively respond to them, the content-creating methodologies in terms of which active and voluntary learning is made possible is urgently needed. In this paper, we present the implementation of the tangible 'electronic dice' interface as an interactive tool for behavior-based edutainment contents, and propose a methodology for developing edutainment contents for children by utilizing the recognition technique of hand movement based on depth-image information. Also proposed in the paper are an authoring and management tool of learning quizzes that allows educators to set up and manage their learning courseware, and a log analysis system of learning achievement for real-time monitoring of educational progress. The behavior-based tangible interface and edutainment contents that we propose provide the easy-to-operate interaction with a real object, which augments educatees' interest in learning, thus leading to their active and voluntary attitude toward learning. Furthermore, The authoring and management tool and log analysis system allow us to construct learning programs by children's achievement level and to monitor in real-time the learning development of children educatees by understanding the situation and behavior of their learning development from the analytic results obtained by observing the processes of educatees' solving problems for themselves, and utilizing them for evaluation materials for lesson plans.

Piano is one of the most beloved instruments in the world and is used a lot for children to learn music because it is simple to play. As a result, various products for children, such as toy pianos, were released. However, there is a lack of piano skills for music education, such as how to play the piano or read the score. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a game-style educational piano using Arduino. It is expected to capture fun and education at a low price by scoring points by displaying the score on the LCD screen and pressing the keyboard according to the timing of playing the note.
