Abstract

<p>In this study, we practiced programming education using a drone in an elementary school and examined the effects on the understanding of the necessity of using technology in industry. Before and after the class, students were asked to respond to a questionnaire survey about their awareness of participation in rice cultivation and to describe the jobs they thought were related to rice cultivation. After the class, students were asked to describe their image of rice cultivation in free text. From the questionnaire survey and the descriptions of jobs considered to be related to rice cultivation, it was suggested that programming education using drones was effective in reminding students of the use of drones for rice cultivation and fostering a sense of participation in rice cultivation. The results of the text mining analysis of the image of rice cultivation suggest that the experience of programming education using drones promotes thinking about the necessity of using drones for rice cultivation and the necessity of future rice cultivation, such as reconsidering the role of humans. The results suggest that the experience of programming education using drones promotes thinking about the necessity of using drones for rice cultivation as well as what is necessary for future rice cultivation, such as reconsidering the role of humans.</p>
