The artificial intelligence, robot technology, Internet of things, and life sciences that create added value while dramatically transforming human life have been highlighted in the fourth industrial revolution, the next industrial revolution. In order to adapt to the 4th industry, it is necessary to educate students to develop fusion thinking and computing thinking ability. Therefore, in this study, we developed a digital Yut Playing system based on physical computing, reflecting STEAM and decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design, which are components of computing thinking. By experiencing the developed system and applying it to education, it raised interest and interest in programming education and improved programming lesson for fusion thinking and computing thinking ability.

This study examines whether the reinforcement theory could be effectively applied to teaching assistant robots between a robot and a student in the same way as it is applied to teaching methods between a teacher and a student. Participants interacted with a teaching assistant robot in a 3 (types of robots: positive reinforcement vs. negative reinforcement vs. both reinforcements) by 2 (types of participants: honor students vs. backward students), within-subject experiment. Three different types of robots, such as 'Ching-chan-ee' which gives 'positive reinforcement', 'Um-bul-ee' which gives 'negative reinforcement', and 'Sang-bul-ee' which gives both 'positive and negative reinforcement' were designed based on the reinforcement theory and the token reinforcement system. Subjective impressions and preferences were measured according to the types of robots and the types of participants. Participants preferred the positive reinforcement robot most, and the negative reinforcement robot least. Regarding the number of stimulus, in case of the negative reinforcement robot for honor students, the less the stimulus is, the more positive the impressions toward the robot are. The findings demonstrate that the reinforcement interaction is important and effective factor which determines children's preferences and impressions for teaching assistant robots. The results of this study can be implicated as an effective guideline to interaction design of teaching assistant robots.

본 논문에서는 지식융합시대에 발맞춰 피코크리켓을 활용한 STEAM 기반 학습 프로그램을 개발하고자 한다. STEAM 교육은 Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics 다섯 가지의 학문을 융합적으로 가르치는 교육을 의미한다. 이는 빠르게 변화하고 있는 사회에 적응하고 실생활 문제해결 및 창의적인 사고력을 배양하기 위해서 여러 교과를 같이 융합하여 가르쳐야 한다. 이를 위해 다양한 교육용 로봇을 활용해 STEAM 교육이 진행되고 있으며 이번 연구에서는 피코크리켓을 활용한 학습프로그램을 개발하고자 한다. 피코크리켓은 통합적인 문제상황을 해결하는 과제를 제시하고 해결하는데 유용한 교육용로봇이며 학습프로그램에 효과적으로 활용될 것이다.

기존 센서들은 고정형 무선 네트워크로 구성되어 재난지역, 군사지역 등의 지역에서는 데이터를 획득 할 수 있는 관찰영역이 제한적이다. 하지만 이동 능력을 가진 센서들이 스스로 주변 센서들의 위치와 장애물의 위치를 이용하여 자율 배치된다면 센서들의 관찰영역을 보다 많이 확보하면서 보다 더 정확한 데이터를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 로봇 공학 분야에서 많이 사용하는 Player/Stage 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 다양한 실제 환경과 같은 가상의 환경에서 포텐셜 필드 방식을 적용한 센서 로봇 집단의 자율 배치 기법을 모의실험하고 검증한다. 또한 그 자율 배치 방법을 이용한 실제 이동 센서 로봇집단의 구현 내용 및 결과를 제시한다.

STEAM program as integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics became essential part of secondary education and software education will be a required subject in secondary schools. In this study, we propose the application of the Lego mindstorms robotics programs for the developments of both STEAM and software educational materials. Our program consisting of five hours of classes is made based on the problem solving strategies. According to students' impression obtained after our program had been applied, our program appears to provide students opportunities for conceiving creative thinking and problem solving strategies. It also shows positive results for the application to the software and science educations as well as other extracurricular such as after school programs or programs for gifted students.

This paper presents a new search strategy based on models of evolution in order to solve the problem of collision-free robotic path planning. We designed the robot path planning method with genetic algorithm which has become a well-known technique for optimization, intelligent search. Considering the path points as genes in a chromosome will provide a number of possible solutions on a given map. In this case, path distances that each chromosome creates can be regarded as a fitness measure for the corresponding chromosome. The effectiveness of the proposed genetic algorithm in the path planning was demonstrated by simulation. The proposed search strategy is able to use multiple and static obstacles.

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.

Software in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is becoming a key foundation in an intelligent information society. Therefore, it is necessary to study the new direction of manpower training and education that can cope with the times. To this end, the Ministry of Education reorganized the curriculum and is implementing software education based on a logical problem-solving process based on computing thinking skills rather than acquiring general ICT knowledge. However, there is a lack of securing high-quality educational content for software education, and there is also a lack of teaching aids that can be taught in connection with advanced IT technologies. To overcome this, this paper proposes the development of external expansion devices to expand educational content and functions capable of convergent software education such as artificial intelligence using coding robots for software education. Through this, effective software education is possible by improving the curriculum of the existing simple problem-solving method and developing various learning materials.

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of the use of Chatting Method(with AI Chatting robot: Chatterbot) and Computer Interest Levels on Teaching & Learning. The major findings of the study are as follows. Firstly, the chatting activities using the chatterbot method and computer Interest Levels were not effective in the academic achievement. Secondly, the chatting activities using the chatterbot method and computer Interest Levels were effective in improving the learning motivation. Thirdly, According to the result of post-feedback analysis, the benefits of chatterbot method was 'the new', 'transcends time and space', 'drill and practice learning' and was some of the drawbacks 'response fixed', lack of emotional transactions. and the proposal 'PBL' was reached(1. strength: new experience, 2. weakness: be tired, 3. proposal: PBL approach). Fourthly, the relationship between the academic achievement, learning motivation, post-feedback was no correlation. Based on these results, the study suggests that the chatterbot method was need for multiple instructional design strategy.

로봇의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라 2019년부터 초등 실과 교과에 로봇 교육이 포함된다. 그러나 일부 초등학교에서 현행되고 있는 로봇 교육은 학습자가 완성된 형태의 로봇을 조작하는 데 그친다는 점에서 구성주의 학습원리에 어긋난다. 구성주의 학습원리에 따르면 학습자는 각자에게 의미 있는 독창적인 모델을 중심으로 자신만의 세계를 만들고 그 속에서 지식을 구성해 나가야만 진정한 학습이 일어난다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 구성주의 학습원리에 기반한 초등 로봇 교육의 도구로서 WeDo 2.0을 소개하고 로봇 교육 도구로서 WeDo 2.0이 갖는 활용가능성을 탐색하였다. WeDo 2.0은 학습자에게 첫째, 자발적 학습환경, 둘째, 창의적 학습환경, 셋째, 체계적 학습환경, 넷째, 통합적 학습환경, 다섯째, 구성주의 학습환경을 제공한다. 이에 따라 향후 초등 로봇 교육에서 WeDo 2.0을 활용한 구체적인 교육 프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
