Educational robots have various potentialities to support programming learners because it is interesting enough to improve the learners' participation and motivation. Nonetheless, some researches assert that the use of educational robot does not necessarily lead to effective and successful learning. With respect to these serious problems, the researchers are emphasizing that it is needed to overcome the probable 'Novelty Effect' by means of considering specific features of the robot programming environment and the participants. We analyzed and found some features of robot programming teaching and learning environment and professional high school students through reviewing of the literatures, and then conducted delphi research to abstract motivational strategies and to develop their applying methods with the specific features. We developed a robot programming teaching and learning model for stimulating and maintaining professional high school student's motivation, which includes 5 factors and 21 strategies.

There has been insufficient studies on the effect of programming language learning on logical thinking ability. Each study result on the improvement degree and items of logical thinking ability is different according to the object of the study, its method, and the learning subject, which makes the generalization process difficult. Moreover, the necessity of programming language learning seems not proved, because it is not apparent whether the improvement of logical thinking ability is due to the advancement of knowledge or programming language learning. In this study, we instructed educational programming languages to elementary students in 6th grade for 7 hours, investigated its effect on logical-thinking ability by the meta-cognition level, and compared the result with that of computer skill learning. As a result, for Dolittle, LOGO, and Powerpoint learning groups, the logical-thinking ability of high meta-cognition level students has increased with significance, but that of low meta-cognition level students has significantly increased for Dolittle and LOGO groups only. However, regardless of meta-cognition levels, there was no significant difference of logical-thinking ability between all three groups.

With a focus on LabView language to program Lego Mindstoms Robot in afterschool class to help children develop their special ability and aptitude. The purpose of this research was to make proposal for programming learning method using a robot as an algorithm learning tool to improve creative problem solving ability. To do this, robot programming training program in the amount of 30th period and teaching aids thereof were developed, and 6th grade primary school children were taught up to 30th period, then after, they were evaluated accordingly. Results from analysis of evaluation of achievement level with a focus on outcomes according to each period revealed that learners understood most of contents of curriculum. In view of such results from evaluation, it is judged that the curriculum as well as teaching aids that devised and created have been constituted in order that school children will be able to have developed a shared understanding of their learning sufficiently, and to put it into practice easily. Through these hands-on experiences in the course of researches, researcher could have confirmed the possibility of success for robot-programming training class as new creative algorithm learning tool in the primary school curriculum.

Recently, reflection as a way of reducing the learners' cognitive burden in the programming learning process has been studied. In the present study, we examined the effects of reflection using worksheets to measure elementary students' project performance. The results of the study are that learners who have more reflective time over their learning process are performed creatively and diversely their project work. This study is significant in that it provides more learning opportunities for elementary students by reflection rather than by trial-and-error in programming learning.

Computer based industry is activated and IT education for student has developed quickly. Variety of related IT education has performed. Especially interest of Gifted of Information Science is increased, and programming education for Gifted of Information Science is carrying out in Office of Education and college. But most student are tired of learning tedious algorithm, language centered programming, and test focused learning. In this paper we offer opportunity to learn programming for students through implementing programming curriculum using Visual Basic more easily learning than other programming language, actually apply it in their homepage. and prepare ground of programming.

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.

Information and knowledge society in the 21st century computer education is very important. Computer programming education in computer education is very important. There are very few teaching and learning model of computer programming education. In this paper, we develop a self-regulated learning model for students to be self-regulated learning. In this study, we propose self-regulated learning elements, a self-regulated learning steps and self-regulated learning modele. Self-regulated learning elements are task level, generalized level, and efficiency level. Self-regulated learning phases are problem understanding, design, and coding, testing, and maintenance. Self-regulated learning models are to copy, to modify, create, and to challenge. The results of this study are as follows. At Correlations between learning elements and achievement, generalized level, and efficiency level are higher than the task level. At Correlations between learning and achievement, Understanding and design stages are higher than the other stages. At Correlations between learning model and achievement, to transform, to create, and to challenge are higher than to copy.

This paper describes the development of on-line Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) laboratories to teach the detailed operation of a PLC using distance learning approach. The PLC has become a key component to provide intelligence for machines in CIM environment. This study introduces a case study that teaches PLC programming in distance learning environment. The study describes the contents of PLC laboratories and workstation set ups. The study concludes with problems found and proposes the ways to improve the on-line laboratories.

본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 프로그래밍 수업에 피어 튜터링을 적용할 때 팀 구성 방법을 다르게 하여 참여 학습자들의 성적 변화를 비교해보았다. 그 결과 팀 구성시 친분보다는 수준을 고려할수록 성적 상승에 긍정적으로 작용했으며 특히 친분에 의한 팀 구성시 학습자들의 학습 수준 차이가 크면 상위 학습자 성적 하력이 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다.

Web programming courses are often included in university Computer Science programs as introductory and foundational computer programming courses. However, amateur programmers often have difficulty learning how to integrate HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various preprocessors or libraries to create websites. Additionally, many web programming mistakes do not produce visible output in the browser. Therefore, in recent years, Front-End Code Playground (FECP) tools that incorporate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into a single, online web-based application have become popular. These tools allow web coding to happen directly in the browser and provide immediate visual feedback to users. Such immediate visual feedback can be particularly beneficial for amateur coders to learn and practice with. Therefore, this study gathers data on various FECP tools, compares their differences, and provides an analysis of how such tools benefit students. This study concludes with an outline of the application of FECP to web programming courses to enhance the learning experience.
