many robots invented for programming education? They
stimulate students through body sensation. In prior to the
breakthrough learning point at 9 years old, touching various
objects and observing in real objects are vitally important
.So, our focus is on the planning of the implementation of
robot programming as primary students in Japan, in where
programming education is still in a very initial stage, students
should also be more interested in programming through
real and visible robotic movements than in computerized
ones. Kanoh upholds the instruction proposal of nurturing
“ways to learn and think about the information” defined
by Kanoh and her group and the implementation of the
programming education proposal in the concrete controlling
period of Piaget, J’s development theory is also suggested.
The project ‘Challenge Robots Programming’ was carried
out on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at Yamagata Municipal
Elementary School5. 18 children participated. When checking
the Pearson correlation coefficient on both sides, a highly
positive correlation coefficient (r=.78, p<.01) was found about
the degree of understanding to the programming itself. The
linear approximation curve is y = 0.48x + 3.02, which proves
that children are highly motivated to learn about and have
a high degree of understanding towards programming. In
addition, some children explored questions they found.
