This study tried to redesign a robot curriculum and proposed it for the purpose of enhancing, supporting sustainable development of robot in educations. For doing so, this study referred relevant existing literacy contents at robot literacy educations, and defined a robot literacy education. In addition, this study presented elements of robot literacy by dividing them into five kinds. In relation with the scope of robot literacy education suggested here, this study proposed basic robot area, measurement and observation along with robots based on three elements of robotics, movement and expression made by robots, my own robot design, and comprehensive activity area. Regarding to development stages of robot literacy, the study applied the classical model of curriculum development by Tyler (1949), and intended to secure validity and reliability on the curriculum composition, and then developed a curriculum after analyzing mathematics and science curriculums in existing elementary, middle schools accordingly.

According to a comparison study of international academic achievements, Korean students showed high academic achievements in science and mathematics, whereas their learning motivation appeared relatively low. Therefore, this work developed the robot-based STEM integrated education program reflecting an engineering class model. The title of the program is determined as 'animals' which are included in one section of the fourth grade science curriculum, are friendly to students, and are effective for robot application. Robot-based STEM program is consisted of three areas: robot education, subject-related course learning, and engineering education. The STEM program was reviewed by 14 teachers. The study result presented that regardless of knowledge of robot, most teachers gave positive response to program goal, composition of contents, application of robot.

This study investigated the effects of SW-efficacy on computational thinking STEAM literacy and the dual mediation effects of interest and student engagement in the relationship between SW-efficacy, computational thinking and STEAM literacy in robot-utilized SW convergence education. For achieving this purpose, robot-utilized SW convergence education targeting 146 middle schools students were carried out, post-survey regarding SW-efficacy, computational thinking, STEAM literacy, interest, and learning engagement were conducted. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS macro process for analysis of the dual mediation effect. Results were as follows: first, SW-efficacy had a significant effect on computational thinking and STEAM literacy. Second, interest did not mediate the relationship between SW efficacy, computational thinking and STEAM literacy, while student engagement mediated it. Third, SW efficacy had a significant effect on computational thinking and STEAM literacy dual-mediating effect of interest and student engagement. These results imply the roles of SW efficacy, interest and student engagement to improve computational thinking and STEAM literacy in robot-utilized SW education and provide implications with regard to robot-utilized SW education and instructional directions.

로봇은 지식기반사회에서의 요구하는 기초 능력과 문제해결력 함양을 위한 학습을 충족시켜줄 것으로 기대된다. 또한 로봇교육은 공학적으로 여러 기술이 관련되어 있으므로 통합적인 기초 교육이 가능하게 할 것이다. 그러나 학습 내용, 학습 방법 및 학습 교재에 대한 연구가 부족하므로 외국에서 실시하고 있는 로봇교육과정을 분석하였다. 해외 사례 분석 결과 로봇을 통해 기초 능력과 문제해결력을 함양하기 위한 교육목표를 체계적으로 달성하기 위해서는 학교 교육과정으로 운영되어야 하며 로봇의 특성과 관련된 과학, 수학, 기술, 공학의 내용 요소들을 추출하며 로봇소양에 대한 내용뿐만 아니라 로봇활용에 대한 내용으로도 구성해야 하며 로봇 창작 시스템을 이용하여 단순한 로봇 조립보다는 창작 및 프로그래밍의 과정이 이루어질 때 효과적으로 학습의 성과를 거둘 수 있을 것이다.

2015 개정 교육과정에 따라 2019년 3월부터 초등학교 5~6학년 학생을 대상으로 소프트웨어 교육이 실시된다. 궁극적인 소프트웨어 교육의 목표는 컴퓨팅 사고력을 갖춘 창의 융합형 인재를 양성하는 것이다. 이를 위해 초등학교에서는 알고리즘과 프로그래밍의 체험을 통해 소프트웨어 기초 소양을 함양하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 컴퓨팅 사고력을 수업에 효과적으로 적용하기 위해 전용주(2017)는 소프트웨어 및 컴퓨팅에 관련된 사고과정과 원리를 실생활의 소재와 관련지어 창의적이고 능동적으로 그 해결방안을 구현해가는 과정으로 제시할 수 있는 수업 구성 원리인 CT-CPS 수업 모형을 개발하였다. 또한 교육부는 2015 개정 교육과정 실시 전, 소프트웨어 교육을 위한 선도학교를 전국에 지정하여 운영하였다. 선도학교에서의 소프트웨어 교육과정을 분석한 결과 주로 컴퓨팅 사고력의 구성요소 중 알고리즘과 자동화에 초점이 맞춰져 있었다. 엔트리와 스크래치와 같은 블록 프로그래밍 도구를 사용한 코딩교육과 로봇교육을 주로 실시했고, 실제 문제에 대한 학생들이 자료를 직접 다루는 시간은 찾아보기 힘들었다. 컴퓨팅사고력 향상을 위해서는 학생들이 실제 자료를 수집, 분석, 표현해보는 활동이 반드시 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서 NetsBlox을 활용하고자 한다. NetsBlox는 학생들에게 익숙한 블록형 프로그래밍 도구로 실제 데이터를 온라인상에서 쉽게 받아와서 수집, 분석, 표현을 하게 도와주는 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학생을 위한 NetsBlox를 활용한 CT-CPS기반 프로그래밍 수업을 설계하고자 한다.

This study aimed to analyze applying TAM model the process that flow factors such as 'harmony of challenge and technology' exert effects on learners' attitudes of keeping learning in STEAM class employing robots. For the study, the 'Energy and Tools' chapter of the science textbook for the 6th grade's second semester was re-arranged, and applied for 189 students, and among them, only the 174 usable data were used for the analysis. As a result of analysis, students' learning immersion factor(factor of harmony of challenge and technology) had deeper effects on the factor of ease of learning than usefulness of learning and this in turn, had an effect on their intention to keep learning ultimately through the factor of value of learning as the study found. As a result of research, it was found that for indications identified, in order to use robots in STEAM class, for the students' intention to keep learning, it's essential for learners to have proper and active attitudes towards learning and basic knowledge of robots, and aspects of values should be considered that based on this, robot can assist in learning and affect results of learning in STEAM class. On the other hand, the factors of ease of learning and the combination of the challenge and technology do not gives direct (+) effect on the intention to continue learning and the value for learning, respectively. However, each of the two factor has indirect influence on each of the dependent variable within the significant range, which is the reason the author includes the result of the analysis.

This paper analyzed the programming education specialized lessons presented in two types of elementary school mathematics textbooks according to the revised Japanese curriculum in 2017. First, this paper presented in detail how each activity is connected to Korean mathematics areas, what elements of mathematics can be learned through programming education, how each activity is structured, and how the actual programming according to the textbook activities is structured. In Japanese textbooks, geometry and measurement areas were presented the most among Korean mathematics content areas, and mathematical elements such as sequences, rules, and algorithms were most implemented for learning. Digital learning tools that make up actual programming present more elements than those presented in the textbooks and are presented in great detail so that students can do actual programming. Lastly, in blocks, motion, control, and calculation blocks were used a lot. Based on these research results, this study provides implications when conducting programming-related education in Korea.

As software education was introduced through the 2015 revised curriculum, various research activities have been carried out to improve the computational thinking of learners beyond the existing ICT literacy and software utilization education. With this change, the purpose of this study is to examine the research trends of various research activities related to computational thinking which is emphasized in software education. To this end, we extracted the key words from 190 papers related to computational thinking subject published from January 2014 to September 2019, and conducted frequency analysis, word cloud, connection centrality, and topic modeling analysis on the words. As a result of the topical modeling analysis, we found that the main studies so far have included studies on 'computational thinking education program', 'computational thinking education for pre-service teacher education', 'robot utilization education for computational thinking', 'assessment of computational thinking', and 'computational thinking connected education'. Through this research method, it was possible to grasp the research trend related to computational thinking that has been conducted mainly up to now, and it is possible to know which part of computational thinking education is more important to researchers.
