| Abstract |
| Computers have been utilized as one of major educational media since they were introduced in school education in the 1990s thanks to their diverse contents. Meanwhile, however, computer-aided education has been conducted just by borrowing the architecture of adult e-learning contents that take advantage of the unique characteristics of computers, and computers aren`t yet used as practical tutors tailored to the physical and intellectual development of preschoolers in early childhood education.
It will produce the best educational effects if plenty of information is provided through teacher-preschooler interaction and if the information contents are designed by employing meta language tailored to the information cognition of preschoolers to improve the functional literacy of preschoolers in consideration of their cognitive skills and physical coordination.
The major findings of the study were as follows:
First, effective teaching methods of media literacy could be prepared by designing information contents in light of the perception and cognitive process of preschoolers.
Second, information contents could be designed in a significant way when quality information contents are selected by observing preschoolers in the classroom.
Third, HRI robots could be used as assistants of learning, publicity and education in early childhood education institutions when their media characteristics are properly utilized.
This study is of significance in that it attempted to investigate the effectiveness of HRI robots, which were the state-of-the-art media marked by speech recognition, image recognition, autonomous operation and autonomous battery charging, on information contents design appropriate for preschoolers who were in the first stage of creative education in a bid to predict forthcoming changes in education to lay the theoretical foundation for information contents design in preparation for the possible changes. |
