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.

초등학교 학습자를 대상으로 컴퓨터 과학의 원리를 가르치기 위하여 EPL, 로봇프로그래밍, Unplugged Project 등 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 또한 로봇을 활용한 경진대회, 창의 대회 등 교육과정 외적인 부분에서도 활성화되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 대부분의 로봇, 공학 경진대회는 특정 로봇의 기능 및 사용법, 흥미 위주의 획일적인 내용을 벗어나고 있지 못한 실정이며, 통합적 접근을 했던 기존의 프로그램들은 창의적 문제해결을 목적으로 여러 학문의 융합, 통합을 주장하고 있다. 본 연구에서의 통합은 초등 학습자의 학습으로의 보다 본질적인 접근이 필요하며, 교육과정 전반에 걸친 폭넓은 학습 활동 측면에서 프로그래밍(로봇)의 통합의 필요성을 주장하고 있다. 이제는 프로그래밍(로봇) 학습이 왜 통합 학습으로 교육과정 상에 녹아 들어가야 하는지에 관한 본질적인 논의가 이루어져야 할 시점으로 생각된다. 이 논문의 본문은 크게 두 부분으로 이루어져 있는데 첫째, 초등학교 로봇프로그래밍 교육을 통합적 관점으로 접근했던 기존의 프로그램의 사례를 살펴볼 것이며, 둘째, 초등학교 학습자에게 통합이 어떠한 의미인지를 고찰해 볼 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a subject integration robot programming instruction model to improve information gifted elementary students' creativity. For this goal, we have developed a subject integration robot programming instruction model and verified its effectiveness. The developed instruction model was applied to the 5th and 6th grade elementary school students. The developed model was applied to the experimental group and ordinary robot programming instruction model was applied to the comparison group. As a result, the model was significantly enhance students' creative disposition and creative cognitive abilities. According to these results, it has been proved that the subject integration robot programming instruction model is effective to the information gifted elementary students' creative disposition and creative cognition abilities.

This paper proposes elementary robot programming problems using the algorithmic thinking-based problem model with material factors in the elementary robot programming. And this paper proves the validity of developed robot programming problems in defining them as algorithmic thinking-based problems through experiments. The experimental results are analyzed in views of variety and effectiveness evaluation of answer algorithms and suitability of allocating degrees of difficulties to the developed robot programming problems. As a result of the experiment, we find that the developed problems has various answer algorithms and suitable degrees of difficulties for elementary school students.

STEAM education is a topic-based curriculum to integrate the concepts into other subjects such as science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in order to improve the students' interesting, understanding, integrated thinking and problem solving ability. In this paper, we designed STEAM curriculum in the form of Project-based Learning and developed the material for elementary students. We also developed the android-based application through searching for a utilization of IT simulation for enhancement the students' Project-based Learning effect.

In this paper, we propose an smart device based robot programming education program and analyzing students' perceptions such as satisfaction, Expectancy-Value of IT convergence learning after the robot education program according to elementary gifted students' level. Smart device based robot programming education program designed based on schematic of the convergence suggested by WTEC and consist of creative phase, integration/fusion phase, innovation phase, outcome phase for learning practical process of the IT convergence. We are conducting a smart device based robot programming education class to consist of 126 gifted students and analysing the difference of perception. According to analysis of the result, core and advanced students' perception on satisfaction score shows also high. However, advanced level students' satisfaction score shows higher than core students' satisfaction score. Also, advanced level students' expectancy-value score on IT convergence learning shows higher than core students' score.

초등학교 정보통신기술 교육에서 새롭게 실시되는 프로그래밍 교육을 위해 로봇 프로그래밍에 대한 관심이 어느 때보다 고조되고 있다. 교육용 로봇을 이용한 프로그래밍교육은 학습자가 로봇을 직접 제작하고 프로그램을 작성하여 실행시키는 과정을 통하여 프로그래밍의 원리뿐만 아니라 학습자의 창의력과 문제해결력 신장에도 많은 도움을 준다. 이러한 로봇 프로그래밍 교육을 활성화시키기 위하여 본 연구에서는 초등학교 아동의 발달 수준에 맞게 게임, 가상체험, 시뮬레이션 기법 등을 적용한 학습 지원시스템을 설계하고자 한다. 이를 통하여 학습자는 고가의 비용을 들이지 않고도 기존의 인터넷 환경에서 접근하여 가상의 로봇을 통하여 재미있고 흥미롭게 프로그래밍기법 및 알고리즘에 대해 쉽게 원리를 배울 수 있는 기회를 제공하고자 한다.

The revised 7th education course of information implies that students use variety of information devices to solve the common problems and it also includes the programming education for improving problem-solving abilities. Not only improving problem-solving abilities but also developing thinking skill is expected in programming education. However, traditional programming education is teacher-oriented and focused on language syntax. Accordingly, students have heavy cognitive load and it decrease students' interest of programming. Therefore, in this paper, a instructional method of programming using educational robot is proposed to improve interest of elementary students in concretive operation stage for effectiveness of programming education. Additionally, results of experiments show that proposed robot programming instructional method can be applied in elementary education.

Since 2008, it has been stipulated to conduct programming education for grade 5 and 6 elementary school student. However, it is the reality that the plans and studies for this are seriously lacking until now. The objective of this study is to propose a programming education utilizing robots as a plan to overcome limitations of existing programming education, find the problems through developing and applying education program for general elementary school students. As a result of experimental application of the developed program, since the gap of academic accomplishment for the robot programming is large for each student, it is necessary to develop education program to enable individual studies of each level and operate program with the focus on programming education rather than the robot. Moreover, it is pointed that the difficult and unnecessary elements in the robot programming course must be improved or reduced, it is better to exercise it on the grade 6 program for concentration on the programming education, and there should be improvement on equipment, environment for robot programming.
