Abstract

This study is to analyze the effects on using robots in elementary regular classes. The robots and PC-linked applications were developed considering the school subjects' academic goals and the learners' responses were carefully examined while applying the robots in the class. The image profile after the robot application shows positive feedbacks in most of the contents and some significant differences were found in contents such as 'theoretical-practical', 'uncooperative-cooperative'(p<.05). Moreover, the analysis on the learners' image drawings shows that more robot images are formed related to the concrete learning environment. The learners have answered in an interview to evaluate their understanding of Robot based instruction that both direct and indirect robot experience induce positive participations and provide authentic learning experience. During the robot based instruction, the learners cooperate with their group members and recognize the cooperation as a positive activity. It proves that the robot based instruction can lead to a possibility of new education paradigm.

본 논문은 초등학교 정규교과에서 로봇활용수업의 효과 분석을 위해 교과별 목표 달성에 적합한 로봇 및 PC연동 어플리케이션을 개발하고 수업적용을 통해 학습자의 반응을 살펴보았다. 연구결과 사후 이미지 프로파일의 대부분의 항목에서 로봇에 대한 긍정적인 응답이 나타났으며 특히, '이론적-실천적', '비협동적-협동적' 두 항목에서 유의미한 차이가 발견되었다(p<.05). 또한 학습자가 그린 사후 이미지 분석 결과 사전에 비해 구체적인 학습상황과 연계된 로봇 이미지가 형성된 것으로 나타났다. “로봇활용수업”에 대한 학습자 인식을 살펴보기 위한 면담결과 로봇의 직 간접 체험 모두 긍정적인 학습참여를 유도하고 실제적 학습경험을 제공하였다고 나타내었다. 또한 로봇활용수업을 통해 모둠 구성원과 자연스러운 협력활동이 관찰되었고 학생들도 동료와 협력활동에 대해 긍정적으로 인식하고 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 로봇활용 교육이 새로운 학습 패러다임으로서의 가능성을 보여준다고 볼 수 있다.
