The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data for fostering positive minds on robots and occupations related to the robots, by exploring Gyeonggi province middle school students’ attitude towards robots and by analyzing variables related to the formation of this attitude. For the sake of this purpose, an attitude inspection tool obtained in a previous study is used to carry out a research study and 630 persons in middle school third-grade students of Gyeonggi province are randomly sampled. By using results of 482 inspection sheets obtained from the students, descriptive statistical analysis is performed to know how the attitude toward robot in subordinate factors of the attitude inspection sheets is positive. Also, an independent sample t-test is performed to search whether the differences in attitudes of students towards robots in all factors are shown or not. Conclusions of this study are summarized by the followings. 1) It is revealed that the third-grade students in Gyeonggi province middle schools have the positive minds of medium level of 3.0 score. Male students have more positive minds for robots than female students. In order to raise the positive minds in female students, various content is necessary for them. 2) It is required to increase topics or materials on robots in practices, club activities and after-school programs and to induce the students to robot exhibitions and robot-experience programs, because the experience on the robots can give the positive minds to students. 3) The positive minds on robots have an influence on having occupations for robots. Therefore, course education programs including practicing robots, searching occupations with robots are necessary to improve positive minds for robots.
