Abstract :
Recent development of user-created robots in the educational domain has enabled children to develop logical thinking and problem-solving abilities for various subjects. But a new analysis of subjects for elementary schools, especially in digital learning environment, is needed for application of educational robots with digital devices to South Korea´s elementary school curriculum. Therefore, this study analyzed elementary school subjects to develop teaching & learning methods and design strategies for user-created robots in digital textbooks. As a result of the analysis, 150 learning activities using user-created robots in digital textbooks were developed in math, science, languages and arts for grade schools. This study proposes development of teaching and learning methods for application of user-created robots, taking into account both original characteristics of each subject and technical functions of digital devices.
