The purpose of this study is to improve robotics education in public education. This study was conducted with 157 secondary school teachers regardless of their gender, age and majors. The results are as follows: First, 68.2% of the respondents (81.2% of the STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)-related teachers) thought that robotics education should be included in public education because it will be a very important area in the future. Second, 73.3% of respondents (89.3% of the STEM-related teachers) agreed that robotics education will be worth teaching as a regular subject. The most important reason was that they thought the robots would be an excellent tool to initiate their class participation and increase their study motivation. Third, the results from this survey showed that the technology teachers would be the best suitable instructors for robotics education. Lastly, teachers felt a great deal of burden to teach robotics although they thought robotics education was necessary. In order to implement robotics education in public school, teachers think it is necessary to take professional training. In addition, teachers should be supported with the reduction in their workload along with sufficient fundings, educational robots such as LEGO MINDSTORMS, and newly designed teaching materials.

로봇교육과 프로그래밍교육이 학습자들에게 미치는 긍정적인 효과는 거의 동일하지만, 로봇교육은 프로그래밍교육에 비하여 로봇구입이라는 경제적 비용과 학습자의 인지적 부담을 증가시키는 로봇 제작 과정이 포함되기도 하는 차이점이 있다. 이러한 차이점으로 인하여 모든 학교급 또는 모든 학습 목표에 대하여 프로그래밍교육이 동일한 효과를 갖지 않을 수도 있을 것이다. 이러한 가정을 확인하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 국내에서 발표된 로봇교육의 효과에 대한 논문을 메타분석하여 효과크기를 산출하고 프로그래밍교육의 효과크기와 비교한다. 비교 결과를 바탕으로 로봇교육의 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 로봇교육과 프로그래밍교육의 평균 효과크기는 각각 0.6664과 0.4060로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 초등학생의 경우 평균 효과크기가 로봇교육은 0.373, 프로그래밍교육은 0.667로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 중학생이 로봇교육과 프로그래밍교육 모두에서 가장 큰 효과를 보였으며, 학교급이 높아질수록 프로그래밍교육에 비하여 로봇교육의 효과가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 목적별 분석 결과 프로그래밍교육은 모든 영역에 고르게 중간의 효과를 보인 반면 로봇교육은 인지적 영역보다 정의적 영역에 더 큰 효과가 있었다. 교육방법별로 분석한 결과 로봇제작의 효과크기는 1.3294로 높은 효과를 보이며, 로봇제작과 프로그래밍, 로봇프로그래밍, 로봇활용의 순으로 중간의 효과를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따라, 프로그래밍교육이 로봇교육에 비하여 전반적으로 효과가 크고, 로봇교육은 중학생 이상의 대상에 대하여 프로그래밍 교육보다 효과가 크며, 로봇교육은 정의적 영역의 향상에 효과가 있다. 또한 로봇교육은 단순 로봇활용보다는 로봇제작, 로봇프로그래밍을 포함하여, 다양한 주제에 적용할 때 더 큰 효과가 있음을 알 수 있다.

Robots have been attracting students' interest recently. Therefore, they are a good way to motivate to study related subjects. However, there are difficulties in teaching general students because a wide background is required to understand the fundamentals of robotics. In order to teach robotics fundamentals to beginners in a short period, an effective experimental class, including several phased experiments, is proposed in this paper. A portable two-DOF robot arm system with servo motors was developed for experiments, and the operation method based on kinematics was introduced for its operation. The effectiveness of the class was investigated by using a questionnaire after carrying it out in a university class for junior students.

본 논문에서는 미국 매사추세츠 주의 Tufts University 부설 CEEO(Center for Engineering Education and Outreach)에서 수행되고 있는 로봇활용교육 워크숍, Novel Engineering, STOMP 사례를 소개하고자 한다. CEEO는 미국의 많은 대학에서 롤모델로 삼을 만큼 로봇활용교육에서 가장 선도적인 센터이다. 이 센터에서는 초 중 고등학교 학생들과 교사들을 위한 로봇활용교육 워크숍이 매년 여름방학 때 진행되고 있다. 또한 공과대학 1학년 학생들은 Simple Robotics과목을 필수로 이수해야한다. 우리에게 생소한 Novel Engineering은 독서교육과 공학을 융합한 공학교육방법이다. STOMP(Students and Teachers Outreach Mentorship Program)는 초 중 고등학교 교사들이 공학을 필요로 하는 수업을 설계할 때, STOMP에 소속된 대학생과 대학원생들이 직접 수업에 참여하여 교사와 함께 수업을 이끌어나가도록 도와주는 프로그램이다. 소프트웨어 교육이 많이 활성화되어가고 있는 상황에서 우리나라에서도 이러한 프로그램들을 도입하여 시행한다면 소프트웨어 인재양성에 많은 기여를 할 수 있을 것이라고 기대한다.

Until now, many networked robots have been connected to the Internet for the various applications. With these networked robots, very long distance teleoperation can be possible through the Internet. However, the promising area of the Internet-based teleoperation may be distance learning, because of several reasons such as the unpredictable characteristics of the Internet. In robotics class, students learn many theories about robots, but it is hard to perform the actual experiments for all students due to the rack of the real robots and safety problems. Some classes may introduce the virtual robot simulator for students to program the virtual robot and upload their program to operate the real robot through the off-line programming method. However, the students may also visit the laboratory when they want to use the real robot for testing their program. In this paper, we developed an Internet-based robot education system. The developed system was composed of two parts, the robotics class materials and the web-based Java3d robot simulator. That is, this system can provide two services for distance learning to the students through the Internet. The robotics class materials can be provided to the student as the multimedia contents on the web page. As well, the web-based robot simulator as the real experiment tool can help the students get good understanding about certain subject. So, the students can learn the required robotics theories and perform the real experiments from their web browser when they want to study themselves at any time.
