Diseño y evaluación de un taller de robótica basado en Estilos de Aprendizaje para la enseñanza de Fundamentos de Programación

Resumo

Undergraduate disciplines related to programming fundamentals usually have high attrition rates. On the other hand, activities related to robotics may have a potential to motivate students as they bring a concrete, tangible application of programming skills. In this article we present the design and evaluation of a robotics workshop aimed at engineering students of a Chilean University that were simultaneously enrolled in introductory programming disciplines. An analysis of final grades indicated that students with higher attendance to workshop meetings had also higher grades in the programming discipline
