Abstract

This study aimed to explore the relationship between Intelligent Robot Reacher(IRT)-student by examining the factors of their relationship perceived by middle school students. In doing so, we developed questionnaires based on the existing teacher-student relationship scale and conducted an online survey of 283 first graders in middle school. The collected date were analyzed using exploratory factor analyses with SPSS 23 and confirmatory factor analysis with Amos 21. The study findings identified four factors of IRT-student relationship namely "trust", "competence", "emotional exchange", and "tolerance". It is expected that the study can be used to discuss ways to enhance educationally significant interaction between students-IRT and teaching methods using intelligent robots(IRs). Also, the study will contribute to the understanding and development of various services using IRs. Based on the study finidngs, future studies should investigate the perception of various education stockholders (teachers, parets, etc) on IRT to elevate the Human-Robot Interaction in the education field.

본 연구는 중학교 학생이 인식하는 지능형로봇 교사와의 관계형성 요인을 탐색하여 지능형로봇 교사-학습자 간의 관계성을 설명하고자 하였다. 이에, 기존에 개발된 교사-학생 관계 측정 도구를 지능형로봇 교사 맥락에 맞게 재구성하여 283명의 중학교 1학년 학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였다. 이후, SPSS 23과 Amos 21 프로그램을 활용하여 탐색적 요인분석 및 확인적 요인분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 중학생이 인식하는 지능형로봇 교사와의 관계형성 요인은 '신뢰감', '유능감', '감정교류', '포용력'이며, 이러한 하위요인들은 중학생이 지능형 로봇과의 관계형성을 설명하는데 근거를 제시하고 있다. 본 연구는 지능형로봇 교사-학습자 간의 유의미한 상호작용 증진을 위한 방안에 대한 논의 뿐 아니라 지능형 로봇을 기반으로 한 교수법을 제시하는 데에도 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 또한, 교육용 지능형 로봇 서비스의 이해 및 개발을 지원하는 연구로써 공헌할 것이다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 추후 연구에서는 지능형 로봇 교사에 대한 다양한 학교 구성원(교사, 학부모 등)의 인식을 조사하여 교육현장에서의 인간-로봇 상호작용 연구가 계속되어야 할 것이다.
