Teaching mathematical concepts in the 2nd grade (thematic units of Geometry and Measurements) using floor robots
Summary:
In this thesis, titled "Teaching mathematical concepts in the 2nd grade (thematic units of Geometry and Measurements) using floor robots"", the use of programmable floor robots as tools for the development of mathematics skills in the 2nd grade of the Greek Primary School is examined. In this context, an educational scenario is designed, implemented, and evaluated, which utilizes robotics technologies, programmable Bee-Bot robots, in the subject of Mathematics in 2nd grade. Its purpose is to teach students simple programming structures through the use of robots, but also mathematical concepts in an environment that encourages the application of constructive practices, meaningful interaction, error management as a learning opportunity, self-action and creativity. The research is carried out in a private primary school, after the end of the school program, in the first months of the school year. The work text includes information on its design, participants and the various research tools used. There is also an extensive presentation of the educational scenario and the activities that have been carried out. The data collected are aggregated and analyzed, and conclusions are drawn from the results obtained, based on research questions and existing literature. Although of particular interest, the research limitations do not allow the conclusions to be generalized. However, the indications are very encouraging and can be a starting point for the design of a broader future research in this area.
