Abstract

Recently, poor child problem becomes severe, which is induced by earning differentials, because of the growing social polarization; the gap between the rich and the poor. The children in low-income group tend to have low dignity, anxiety, offense, and shrinking problems, because they frequently confront many negative circumstances, such as eliminating family, leaving home, and financial hardship. Those behavior problems can result in the low scholastic performance. This study deals with the effectiveness of attitude improvement using educational robots. We have a result that the children in welfare institutions have been improved not only in creativity but also in attitude points of view.

최근 우리 사회는 양극화 현상에 의해 빈부격차가 점점 심해지고 있으며, 가정간의 소득격차의 심화로 인해 빈곤 아동 문제가 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 저소득층 아동은 가정해체와 부모의 가출, 경제적 어려움 등 부정적인 생활사건을 많이 경험하게 되어 불안, 공격, 위축 등의 행동 문제가 나타나며, 자존감이 낮아지고 학업성취도가 떨어지는 등 여러 문제들이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교구 로봇 활용을 통한 아동복지센터 아이들의 사전 사후 변화를 비교 분석해 보았으며 그 결과 창의성뿐만 아니라 행동문제 개선에 유의미한 효과를 주는 것으로 나타났다.
