Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to explore the directions of content development for R-Learning which is based on intelligent robots distributed to Kindergartens. For this, the researchers examined and analyzed studies about R-Learning content, teachers´ expectations, distribution of current R-Learning content, and the details. The findings of this study showed that it is inevitable to develop the contents matching with kindergartens´ curricula, ensuring the mobility, emotional exchange, and interaction of a robot. To be more specific, it is proposed that interaction between robots and kindergarteners should be augmented, robots´ functions should be used to the maximum, and teachers should be able to improve the ability to use robots.
