Educational robotics in the early school years: from training to practice

Abstract

The aim of this text is to reflect on the development of a project for the educational use of robotics, to understand its success. A case study methodology was used in which the data analysed are the contributions left by the teachers in a Moodle discipline supporting the initiative and the evaluation that the teachers made of the whole process. Kindergarten and primary school classes took part in this project, which was supported by MatataStudio, an educational technology company. We recognise that training in educational robotics proved to be highly effective in introducing fundamental concepts, while also fostering an environment of sharing and collaboration that was widely valued.
