유치원 교사의 유아교육용로봇 제니보 활용실태 조사연구

초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the current status of kindergarten teachers’ on-site use of educational robot, Genibo, according to its functions and to explore the more effective ways to use educational robot. A survey was administered to 105 teachers working for the kindergartens nationwide where Genibo was distributed. The results showed that only about half of the participants reported that they use Ginibo in their classrooms and that the majority of them use it less than four times per week. The biggest reason of Genibo’s little use was its frequent malfunctions, network connection problems, and lack of instructional times. The survey results also revealed that the teachers use only limited number of functions of Genibo. The findings suggest that every efforts should be made to reduce malfunctions of robots and to develop various functions based on the results of needs analysis of classroom teachers.
