This study examined the factors affecting the team identification of professional baseball fans. The factors were divided into the fan factor, game factors, and other factors. For the analysis, two investigators visited stadium three times in total and a total number of 297 spectators were sampled using a convenience sampling method from three baseball teams. For the fan factor, a fan who began supporting his/her team from childhood or after childhood was used as a dummy variable. The interaction effects between the fan factor and other variables were investigated to offer a stereoscopic understanding about the role of kids marketing. In addition, three game factors and four non-game factors were analyzed. The results regarding fan variable and interaction effects were obtained. Fans from their childhood have much stronger team identification, and show interaction effects with the players. Regression analysis revealed player, promotion and fan service, price, and regional connection to have positive relations with team identification. This study is especially meaningful in a sense that it has proposed positive results regarding marketing to children, and the results will contribute to both the academic field and the industry.

본 논문에서는 Unity게임엔진을 이용하여 만든 유아용 코딩게임의 사례와 결과물을 보인다. 대학에서 초, 중학교로 낮아져 가는 소프트웨어 교육의 연령대의 흐름에 맞춰 유아용 게임을 제작했다. 아이들에게 친근한 자동차게임의 모양으로 문제를 논리적으로 푸는 방법을 찾는 컴퓨팅적 사고를 하게끔 도와 스스로 문제를 해결하게 하고, 성취감을 얻게 해준다. 또 문제에 대한 정해진 답이 없고 자신만의 의견을 낼 수 있기 때문에 호기심과, 창의력의 증폭을 기대할 수 있다. 기본적으로 맵을 이용해 스토리 진행이 이루어지는 코딩게임의 알고리즘을 사용했으며, Unity2D 엔진을 이용해 유아용 블록코딩게임과 키보드게임을 제작했다. 자동차 모양의 객체를 목적지에 도달하게 할 방법을 아이들 스스로 생각하는 컴퓨팅적 사고를 돕는다.

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.

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.

Reflecting the current craze for early childhood education, the demand for learning contents has soared, kids content is emerging as a key topic of the contents industry. The industry developing digital content for young learners is called the 'angel industry', it is attracting a lot of attention because of the increased demand for early childhood education. This paper selects characters used in successful digital products to study character design for OSMU children's educational contents. Through advanced research, analysis criteria were prepared and analyzed to derive general success strategies for character design. As a result, common design features in the analyzed characters were found and confirmed the need for further research. Hopefully, this study will contribute to OSMU character design and lead to improved development of educational contents and commercialization of various characters.

In this study, a survey was carried out to investigate status of children's computer use and their ability by gender and age. The objects of the survey were kids at a day care center in Gimpo where students of the early childhood education department of K university had practical training for a month. 378 questionnaire were collected excepting those with insincere or inconsistent responses, and among them, According to the results of this study, girls use computers more often than boys for educational purposes such as learning how to read and write Korean language and numbers and foreign languages, and also learning music and arts. On the other hand, boys use computers more often than girls for entertainment like cartoon movies and games. In terms of computer using ability such as understanding instructions, manipulation of functions, drawing pictures, chatting and e-mail, internet shopping, homepage making, girls have higher ability than boys while boys are significantly superior to girls in the ability to play computer games. The analytical results show that application programs of the childhood education is desirable for boys to use for the sake of arousing the interest and for the game and for girls to use at the part of music and arts. According to ages, for 1-2 years children, they needs the AP with a delicate person having the computer knowledge, for 3-4 years children, they need AP with some little help, for 6-7 years, they need the AP to do themselves according to sex and age.
