Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the research trend of robot education for young children and elementary students as a basic study for the development of hands-on robot program for young children. Trends by year, research contents, and effectiveness of 155 dissertations and journal papers from 2006 to May 2016 related to robot education for young children and elementary students were analyzed. The results were as follows. In the research subject, research was conducted in the order of integrated education, attitudes and awareness research, and response research for young children and programming education, design development research, and integrated education for elementary students. In the research method, observational research and development research were the most common in young children and elementary students, respectively. In the effectiveness validation, research on social and emotional interaction and research on creativity were the most common in young children and elementary students, respectively. Based on the results of this study, the analysis provided basic data for the development of programs for young children's hands-on robot activities and suggested the direction and implications of robot education in connection with SW education of young children and elementary students.

본 연구의 목적은 유아의 교구로봇 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초연구로 유아와 초등학생의 로봇교육에 대한 연구동향을 알아보는 데 있다. 유아와 초등학생 로봇교육과 관련된 2006년부터 2016년 5월까지의 학위논문과 학술지 논문 총 155편을 대상으로 연도별 동향, 연구내용, 효과성 검증 등을 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 연구주제에서 유아는 통합교육, 태도 및 인식연구, 반응연구 순이며, 초등학생은 프로그래밍 교육, 설계개발 연구, 통합교육 순으로 연구가 많이 이루어졌다. 연구방법에서 유아는 관찰연구가, 초등학생은 개발연구가 가장 많이 나타났다. 효과성 검증에서 유아는 사회적 정서적 관련 연구, 초등학생은 창의성 관련 연구가 많았다. 연구결과에 대한 논의를 바탕으로 유아 교구로봇 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고, 유아와 초등학생의 SW교육과 연계하여 로봇교육의 방향과 시사점을 제안하였다.
