We are taking advantage of the information and communications technology in every field of life at the moment. At this point of view, it is necessary to verify how the information technology performing properly in the education field. This paper is to analyze it and point out the problems in the significant programing study and map out the utilizing of Robot programing education based on the computer principle education. Therefore it is contributed to raise ingenuity, ability to think, problem-solving ability for the students as replacing old programing education with Robot programing education.

In traditional programing education, computers were used as the main tool. Consequently, it was problematic to provide education in an environment without computers or for learners without computer skills. To address this problem, this study developed and validated an unplugged robot education system capable of computerless programming education. The key feature of the proposed system is that programing can be done only by connecting programming blocks in symbols of a flow chart with built-in commands. Validation of the system was performed by a specialist group. Validity was very high with values of content validity ratio (CVR) over 0.7 in all evaluation criteria except "Ease of error debugging" and "Linkages to educational curriculum," whose CVR values were each 0.6. Future directions include improvement in the two areas that scored lower than the others did by, respectively, system improvement to support debugging in error conditions that may occur during the programming process, and development of user guide to support linkages to educational curriculum.

Today`s education is in the 7th education curriculum. But, there is nothing that can be used in the classroom as a tool for education supplement. Easylab is a GUI-programing tool for students who not good at using computers. EasyLab is used in the classroom as a kind of tool to give a rise to ingenuity and creation which need at present education curriculum. When use it, first, learners think of programming-ideas, then program through icon-based software-EasyLab. After programing, the leaner can see the result directly thorough the programing code which are delivered by EasyRobot. So, leaner can study and discuss with the robot`s result. If, the result is incorrect, the robot will do a feedback as a kind of rule. One of the EasyLab`s specific property is that consisted icon-based flow-chart model. And leaner can practice with the robot that have input and output sense.

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.

지식 기반 사회에서는 논리적인 사고를 통해 외부의 자극에서 새로운 가치를 창조하고 스스로 지식을 형성하는 능력이 필요하다. 그리고 컴퓨터 교육의 목적은 기능의 습득이 아니라 습득한 기능을 유기적으로 이용하여 주어진 문제를 해결하는 논리적 사고력의 향상에 있다. 따라서 논리적 사고력을 기를 수 있는 프로그래밍 교육을 학생들에게 지도하여야 한다. 본 연구에서 논 프로그래밍 입문기 학습자들이 갖는 어려움, 즉 프로그래밍 언어의 단어와 문법 암기 따른 부담을 덜고 프로그래밍 학습이 갖는 논리적 알고리즘 탐구에 집중하고자 기존의 구문 중심 프로그래밍 언어가 아닌 아이콘 기반의 비주얼 프로그래밍 도구를 제시한다. 그리고 기존의 프로그래밍 학습에서 아동들이 추상적으로 해 왔던 프로그래밍 과정을 로봇을 이용하여 구체적이고 실험적인 학습을 하도록 하며 아울러 일반 학급에서 적용할 수 있는 로봇 활용 프로그래밍 교육 프로그램을 구상하였다.

Recently, the perception of software education, which had been considered as a field of education for programmers in this field, is changing in response to recent changes with the trend of 4th industrial revolution. Major counties competitively invest in software education and the target age group for software education is also on the decline. However, the traditional text-based programing languages such as JAVA and Python, have a high entry barrier. To address the shortcoming, a variety of methods have been recently proposed for the effective software education for kindergarten and elementary school student. In this paper, we propose a robot-based coding education system with steps for coding education for effective software education. The proposed method is divided into three stages, depending on the level of the student being trained in the software coding education to interact with robots. The proposed stages consists of unplugged coding using a remote control, coding using a graphic-based programming language and text- based coding. We conducted an experiment with performing separate missions while providing propoer tutorials for each stage to verify the effectiveness of the proposed software education system.

정보영재를 교육시키기 위한 프로그래밍 교육방법의 많은 문제점에도 불구하고 프로그래밍교육을 통해 얻을 수 있는 잠재적인 교육효과가 크기 때문에 프로그래밍 교육은 컴퓨터 정보영재 교육과정에서 빠질 수 없는 부분이다. 본 연구는 정보영재들에게 프로그래밍 교육을 실시할 때 프로그래밍 교육방법의 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 도구로 로봇을 소개하고, 로봇을 이용한 체계적인 로봇프로그래밍 교육과정의 개발로 문제해결력, 창의력, 사고력, 판단력 등의 고등인지기능을 신장시키고자 한다.

Many researchers in the 21st century has found that robot education is effective to develop the learners' creativity and problem-solving ability. However, the robot education can only be applied to the students whose computer skills are high. Also it can be taught in the well-prepared computer classroom. Students have to learn machine language to control their robots, and robots are controlled by different types of software. Therefore this study has constructed command-based programming blocks to do a robot programming without computers. It also presents a prototype of the programming process and a technological method to combine the command and the programming blocks. We used the blocks which are similar with something in flow chart: to support intuition, and to help students transfer what they learned. And types of blocks and details are described for the Robot Programing Education. Combination of command blocks is made by RS-485 connection method and, it is designed to intercommunicate with connected blocks. It also presents a prototypes: of the programming process using designed command blocks, and of the possibility of Unplugged Robot Education System.

Robots have been recognized as effective tools to promote high level thinking such as creativeness and problem solving that are crucial in Intelligence & Information era. However, robot education in Korea is more concerned with assembling, traveling and programing, while robot education in foreign countries are incorporated with educational courses, being utilized in various ways. Essentially, robot is a multifunctioning device of planning, assembling, operation and problem solving. As it is able to provide practical educational experience, it will positively influence in motivation and accomplishment if being incorporated with educational courses. Therefore, this study compared domestic and foreign robot education cases, while establishing the framework of course incorporated robot education based on analysis of robot mechanism, the 7th curriculum and its activities. We developed robot utilizing educational program by each grade and subject. In addition, this program is reviewed by experts to verify its adequateness, reality and usefulness based on which it was revised and supplemented.

This paper focuses on analyzing Korean language learning effect through the STEAM class using a robot which is targeted on multicultural elementary school students. For the purpose of it, the degree of difficulty and interest of how students feel has been measured. By using the programing tool of Korean language entering base, they learn the programming commands like as variable, data type, branching statement, loop statement, etc in Korean, the effect of Korean learning has been measured. It has been examined two interviews at the beginning and the end of the second semester to measure the effect of Korean language learning. As a result of this research, It can be realized that multicultural children who have similar linguistic characteristics and cultural sphere understood Korean language easily when they take the Korean language class by utilizing a robot, and the class had an effect on the acquisition of Korean language for multicultural children.
