The use of Educational Robots as programming learning tools and as teaching tools for other cognitive subjects. Educational intervention for teaching Physics using Ozobot Bit
Summary:
This present thesis, entitled "The use of Educational Robots as a means of learning Programming and as a teaching tool of another subject. Educational intervention for the teaching of Physics with the use of Ozobot Bit.", has as its main objective the investigation of the possible integration of educational robots in typical public elementary schools, as well as the performance of students in a differentiated teaching / learning framework with the introduction of technological objects. The survey was conducted during the academic year 2017-2018 on a sample of 21 students, 4th grade of public elementary school in Athens. Students were invited to deal with projects related to both learning the basic principles of Programming and basic concepts of Science by using educational robots Ozobot Bit and working collaboratively, within two different school subjects. Survey data were collected using researchers' observation calendars, students worksheets, as well as recorded material collected in the classroom during the implementation of the educational intervention. The results of the survey include familiarizing students with Ozobot Bit educational robots, acquiring basic skills in simple programming commands, and performing symbolic experiments using these educational robots instead of real materials.
