In this study, we conduct SW education using robot in elementary school, to examine the effects of SW education using robot and identify differences dependeing on the presence of assistance teacher. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, SW education using robot was conducted to 29 students. After collecting data, we examined mean difference using matched pair t-test and ANCOVA. Our results show that SW education using robot significantly improved CT and attitudes toward robots. CT, however, was not significantly improved in control group. Further, although improvement in attitudes toward robots was not associated with presence of assistance teacher, presence of assistance teacher did play a role in improvement of CT. This study was investigated effects of the SW education using robot and identify differences depending on the presence of assistant teacher, and expanded the understanding of the SW education using robot.

In this study, we conduct SW education using robot in elementary school, to examine the effects of SW education using robot on CT and gender differences. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, SW education using robot was conducted to 143 students in 5, 6 grade in GyeongGi. After collecting data, we examined mean difference using matched pair t-test and ANCOVA. The results of this study were as follows: The SW education using robot is associated with significant improvements in CT, however, computational concepts is not associated with significant improvement in high initial score sub sample. And CT is not associated with gender. This study was investigated effects of the SW education using robot and identify gender differences. And expanded the understanding of the SW education using robot.

The purpose of this study was to analyze domestic research trends of software education using robot, and find out implications for studies. The 108 articles from 2006 to 2016 in terms of software education using robot were analyzed. Results showd that there has been the growing number of articles, the development research was most frequently used in those studies. And most articles were studies on elementary school students. There used programming such as Scratch, NXT-G etc. and utilized robot likes Mindstorms series, Picocriket etc. Also, there applied to PBL, CPS etc. on software education using robot. Finally, Positive results were shown in learners' cognitive and affective domain. This research has an significance in terms of verifying the educational implications of software education using robot, and offering the direction of software education using robot in the future.

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.

Through the fourth industrial revolution and coronavirus pandemic situation, the necessity and importance of SW education are being emphasized more. However, it is difficult to achieve the effect of improving students' computational thinking skills by just 17th hour, which is organized in the 2015 revised curriculum. Moreover, due to the coronavirus pandemic situation that has continued since last year, there are environmental restrictions on the equal SW education for students at the educational site. In this study, the unplugged class using a completion robot was designed to reflect the current situation at the educational site and experience of SW education was provided to the 6th graders of J elementary school. Through the application of a class, we checked whether the unplugged class using robots affect students' perception of SW education and the use of computational thinking skills. As a result, the unplugged class using a completion robot showed that students used computational thinking to solve given problems and had a positive impact on changes in perception of SW education.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of SW education using robot based on card coding on learning motivation and attitude of elementary school students. To do this, we conducted 8-hour SW education based on the CT concept of sequence, repetition, event, and control using the Truetrue, which is coded by command card for the 3rd grade of elementary school students. For the experiment, we examined the learning motivation for SW education and the attitude toward SW education based on the robot in advance. As a result, the students' motivation to learn SW education showed a statistically significant improvement. In addition, the attitude toward robot-based SW education improved statistically significantly as "good, convenient, interesting, easy, friendly, active, special, understandable, easy, simple". These results are expected to contribute to the expansion of education through various approaches of SW education.

In this paper, we investigated the learners' interest of activity and learning contents in elementary school SW education using robot. In order to achieve the purpose of this paper, SW education using Entry and Hamster robot was conducted to 15 students who was participated in educational program in Youth training center. In addition, we examined mean difference using descriptive statistics. Our results show that students were generally interested in activities related to hamster robots. Further, interest was associated with gender. Specifically, boys were more interested in activities related to axis acceleration sensor and light sensor and girls were more interested in activities related to sound and movement. This paper was investigated students' interest and identify differences depending on gender, and supposed the concrete data that can be used in the school field.

Globally SW education is becoming increasingly important, and the government is preparing for this trend as a mandatory implementation of SW education in the 2015 revised curriculum. However, because the 17 hours of annual education offered in the course of Practical Arts cannot have great educational effects, this study attempted to develop a robot-based SW education program related to other regular subjects. Also in order to verify the effects of the program related to future competencies, problem solving ability and communication ability were selected as key factors. The paired t-test was conducted to examine whether there was a significant difference between pretest and posttest results. As a result, it was verified that the subject-related SW education program using robots was effective in improving students' problem-solving ability and communication ability. In addition, after the program was completed a survey was conducted, and it was possible to confirm that students could have positive perception on SW education.

The 2015 revised curriculum aims to cultivate creative convergence talent. In this regard, SW education needs to study various convergence education methods to enhance computational thinking. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of SW convergence education centered on reading education and robot utilization education to improve computing thinking ability. For this purpose, SW education teaching and learning was designed by combining SW education using card coding-based robots with reading education based on interactive works and reading on the whole work. As a result, the convergence education between reading and SW improved all three areas of the concept, practice, and perspective of computational thinking ability and increased the learner's satisfaction.
