An Experimental Study on the Use of Robotics as an Educational Tool

Resumo

This paper discusses the use of robotics as a tool for leading primary school students toward an effective understanding of educational skills such as Logics and Physics principles. In order, the use of robotics is not completely acceptable as a teaching resource, so that it is important the development of researches that can evaluate this new process and propose approaches for a better use of robotics in education. In this current experiment, students have used special kits to deal with a search problem, so that we describe the lessons learned in terms of designing the robots and learning aspects that have emerged from the students’ experiences in building and programming robots.
