Educational Robotics: From Structured Game to Curricular Activity in Lower Secondary Schools

Abstract Many attempts have been made to introduce robotics into curricular activities, although these largely occasional and discontinuous experiences. These experiments are often organized teach specific know-how, enormously devaluating the technology’s potential. Furthermore, they might be placed in hands of experts who not on school’s staff, conduct entire project mostly without involvement teachers. Our research is directed at lower secondary schools. aim try move past dictates “teaching robotics” towards less controversial vision with robotics”. Following lead Datteri Zecca (Metodi e tecnologie per l’uso educativo didattico dei robot.
