Robot education has the favorable influence on creativity and problem-solving ability of students. Therefore, it is commonly known to elementary school students, their parents and teacher through robot education for after school and contests. However, it has not been actively taught at university of education students because of the lack of systematic education program. In this paper, we have developed robot education program using problem-based learning and educational robot for pre-service elementary teachers. We have examined their recognition on robot education and education program after applying the developed program. Interviews for improving robot education program were also conducted. We find out robot education program has the favorable influence on the recognition, satisfaction and effectiveness for robot education. In particular, we know that education will related to robot was augmented by this education program.

In this paper, to instruct elementary programming concepts based on flowchart programming for elementary school students, we proposed sensor-based elementary robot programming PBL problems using line-tracer robots. Proposed PBL problems are designed to have various correct-answer algorithms. For this purpose, we present PBL-based robot programming instruction steps. Through applying the proposed sensor-based PBL problems using line-tracer robots, experimental results are analyzed in views of the problem-solving ability and suitability of allocating degrees of difficulties to the proposed elementary robot programming problems.

세계 최정상의 IT기술과 산업용 로봇 시장을 바탕으로 지능형 로봇 기술(RT: Robot Technology)을 확보하기 위하여 국가적 노력이 경주되고 있고 이러한 지식 과학 기술 확보를 위해서는 무엇보다도 과학적 인재 양성이 시급하다. 이에 초등학생의 과학에 대한 동기 유발과 창의력 신장에 적합한 로봇 프로그래밍이 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만, 국가적으로 중등 대학교육에서는 과학 인재 양성을 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 활성화 되어 있으나 초등학교에서는 교육 환경의 미비로 그 한계를 보이고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 초등학교에서의 로봇 프로젝트 학습을 구안하여 초등학생의 창의력을 신장하기 위한 로봇 프로그램 활용 교육에 대하여 연구하여 보았다. 이러한 연구를 통한 실험, 공작 중심의 로봇 탐구교육은 학생들의 컴퓨터 과학에 대한 흥미와 선호도를 높이며, 탐구 활동을 통해 논리적 사고력과 창의력을 함양하는데 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

The national curriculum includes the problem solving process, algorithms, and programming of SW education. The education using robots is one of attractive alternatives for students who have no interest of SW or are poor at programming. We have developed a courseware using robots for SW education based on paper art activities with narrative storytelling to enhance students' creative thinking and problem solving within limitation of class time in schools. We apply the courseware and obtained the result of pre and post-test on the creative problem solving ability of third graders in the elementary school The four factors of creative problem solving have shown significantly increase. In addition, it had an significant effects for understanding robot technology and for learning attitude using robots of SW or programming.

In this study, the effectiveness of the education program was analyzed through the invention education program using Hands-on Robots, the change of perception of invention and robots of primary and secondary students. The results of the study were as follows: there were many differences in robots that students recognized before and after education, and the change was noticeable in lower grades. In addition, perception of inventions included many robots after they were trained, compared to the fact that robots were not included before they were learned. There has also been a change in attitudes toward robots and their attitude toward inventions, which was more pronounced in the lower grades. By doing so, it can be analyzed that the invention education program using Hands-on robots is effective in giving elementary and secondary students a change in their perception of inventions and robots.

In this paper, we investigated the learners' interest of activity and learning contents in elementary school SW education using robot. In order to achieve the purpose of this paper, SW education using Entry and Hamster robot was conducted to 15 students who was participated in educational program in Youth training center. In addition, we examined mean difference using descriptive statistics. Our results show that students were generally interested in activities related to hamster robots. Further, interest was associated with gender. Specifically, boys were more interested in activities related to axis acceleration sensor and light sensor and girls were more interested in activities related to sound and movement. This paper was investigated students' interest and identify differences depending on gender, and supposed the concrete data that can be used in the school field.

Recently, research using robots as a learning tool has increasingly been conducted in K-12 education area. It has been known that hands-on robots give positive educational effect not only on science and mathematics, but on STEAM activity, and help improve the abilities necessary in the 21 century, such as critical thinking, creativity, communication skills, and team work. Despite many research achievements, there is still few research on robot based curriculum to improve the instrumental application of robots in the primary and secondary education fields. In other words, there is a lack of studies of systematic educational contents, educational methods and educational evaluation to increase the instrumental application according to schools and class years. Therefore, this study analyzed domestic and foreign robot based curriculums and relevant cases to develop 'robot' related educational programs in primary school and middle school, suggested the achievement objectives in the robot area as a sub category of the computer science curriculum which will be revised, and proposed teaching-learning method and evaluation method.

Robot assisted programming education has been highlighted because it enhances the involvement of students. Robots are combined with mechanical and program elements. However, in after school Robotics classes, almost all is education for the mechanical elements of robots. On the other hand, education for robot programming is a starting stage. It is difficult for students to programming with sensors. Therefore, in this paper, I researched the relationships between elements from sensors to output devices. And I applied it to Robotics education. As a result, the students can understand robot because they studied the relationships between data from sensors and output devices. We proved it by the survey after the relationship education.

According to the rapid growth and popularization of the SMART device, the society is being changed greatly and importance of SW education is being emphasized. Also many student have a lot of interests about mobile application programming. The latest study suggests using the robots in the programming education may help to induce learners' interest and motivation, participation, achievement. So in this research, I designed a programming educational plan for SW education using robot and mobile application development tool(App Inventor) and applied them. And I conducted a survey four ares such as class, robot, App Inventor, robot and App Inventor. As a result, learner's response of interest and satisfaction was very positive commonly at four areas. In particular, learners could get programming result immediately using smart phone and could control the robot using smart phone, so learner's interest had increased especially. The conclusion is that suggested plan for SW education using robot and mobile application development tool is useful for programming education.
