Resumo
Resumo: A Robótica Educacional vem ganhando destaque no processo de ensino-aprendizagem não só por sua habilidade de promover a interdisciplinaridade entre diferentes áreas do conhecimento, mas também por valorizar a coletividade e motivar a participação de alunos. Entretanto, a inserção da robótica no processo de ensino-aprendizagem esbarra em dificuldades financeiras e técnicas, tais como o alto custo dos kits proprietários, suas restrições de utilização e falta de apoio pedagógico aos docentes. Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem para o desenvolvimento de kits de robótica educacional de baixo custo, baseado em software livre para o ensino da computação nos cursos técnicos e tecnológicos.
Abstract: Educational Robotics has been gaining attention in the teaching-learning process not only for its ability to promote interdisciplinarity between different areas of knowledge, but also enhance the community and encourage students participation. However, including robotics in teaching-learning process was hampered by financial and technical difficulties, such as the high cost of the kits owners, their restrictions in terms of extensibility and flexibility and lack of educational support for teachers. This paper presents an approach to develop low cost educational robotics, based on free software and which aims at teaching students from technical computing and technology courses.
