Abstract :
This paper presents and juxtaposes two different learning processes developed in Israel and in Korea to introduce the concept of systems at early stages of school education, with special focus on the aspects of system structure and behavior. Our findings indicated the students successfully grasped the concept of system through practices of constructing robots and exploring their behaviors.
