INTEGRATING ROBOTICS TO DEVELOP PROBLEM
Nikeia Eteokleous Frederick University Despo Ktoridou
University of Nicosia
This study evaluated the employment of the
problem-based learning approach integrating robotics as tools within
the teaching and learning process. The BeeBots, pre-programmable
floor robots, were used as cognitive-learning tools in order to
examine students’ development of problem-based learning skills:
creativity-innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration. A case
study approach was employed, collecting quantitative (from 3
different questionnaires, as well as pre- and post- questionnaires)
and qualitative data (focus groups). Classroom interventions were
designed and implemented during the October – November 2013 time
period. The paper presents the background and design of research as
well as perceived, indicative results. |
