Abstract Background Educational robotics (ER) is increasingly used in classrooms to implement activities aimed at fostering the development of students’ computational thinking (CT) skills. Though previous works have proposed different models and frameworks describe underlying concepts CT, very few discussed how ER should be implemented effectively foster CT skill development. Particularly, there a lack operational frameworks, supporting teachers design, implementation, assessment The current...
Computational thinking (CT) is considered an emerging competence domain linked to 21st-century competences, and educational robotics (ER) increasingly recognised as a tool develop CT competences. This why researchers recommend developing intervention methods adapted classroom practice providing explicit guidelines teachers on integrating ER activities. The present study thus addresses this challenge. Guidance feedback were critical foster competences in settings. A between-subjects...
Several training programs have been developed in the past to restore motor functions after stroke. Their efficacy strongly relies on possibility assess individual levels of impairment and recovery rate. However, commonly used clinical scales rely mainly subjective functional assessments are not able provide a complete description patients' neuro-biomechanical status. Therefore, current tests should be integrated with specific physiological measurements, i.e. kinematic, muscular, brain...
Das Robotic Camp ist eine Fortbildung für Lehrpersonen zum Thema Bildungsrobotik (auf Englisch: Educational Robotics (ER)). Ein Ziel war es auch Gemeinschaft den Austausch von Ideen mit Gleichgesinnten aus verschiedenen Regionen der Schweiz zu schaffen. Die Wirksamkeit des Camps wurde dem Interest Questionnaire evaluiert, einem Instrument zur Bewertung ER-Wissen, Selbstwirksamkeitsgefühl, Interesse, Zusammenarbeit und Problemlösung. Ausserdem wurden Interviews über die Camp-Erfahrung...
Contribution: This paper presents a model for educational robotics tools and corresponding set of heuristics their development evaluation specifically adapted to the needs expectations in formal education settings. Background: The increased use robots classrooms, steadily growing number alternatives from which choose, bring requirement appropriate methods develop evaluate these tools. Yet current body literature does not provide comprehensive frameworks that allow this question be adequately...
In the past years, use of educational robots has steadily increased, in particular due to ongoing digitalization modern societies and new skills that professions require. It been argued robotics activities have potential promote acquisition such may increase pupils’ interest STEM disciplines. Despite these results, only few studies examined perspective regarding pedagogical value formal education. Therefore, this study with 91 pupils aged between 13 15 we aimed at investigating how perceive...
Abstract Technologies have become an essential part of the daily life our children. Consequently, artifacts that imply early adoption abstract thinking affect imagination children and young people in relation to world technology, now much more than they did past. With emerging importance robots many aspects everyday lives, goal this study is investigate which mental representations about robots. To end, drawings from 104 aged between 7 12 years old were used as a map representations,...
Abstract Background In the past years, robotic systems have become increasingly popular in upper limb rehabilitation. Nevertheless, clinical studies so far not been able to confirm superior efficacy of therapy over conventional methods. The personalization robot-aided according patients’ individual motor deficits has suggested as a pivotal step improve outcome such approaches. Methods Here, we present model-based approach personalize rehabilitation within training sessions. proposed method...
Educational Robotics holds the potential to promote development of important 21st century skills, such as creativity and problem-solving skills in addition digital literacy. However, emergence Covid-19 pandemic has posed particular obstacles that had be overcome order allow activities conducted distance learning. In first place, obligation work from home limited access required equipment for many students. Secondly, teachers face novel challenge creating pedagogically meaningful online...
Learning journals are increasingly used in vocational education to foster self-regulated learning and reflective practices. However, for many apprentices, documenting working experiences is a difficult task. In this article, we profile apprentices' behavior an online journal. Based on pedagogical framework, propose novel multistep clustering pipeline that integrates different dimensions into combined profile. Specifically, the profiles described terms of effort, consistency, regularity,...
In the past, use of tangible programming languages has shown several advantages compared to screenbased graphical languages. Especially when presented novices, such interfaces may represent a more intuitive and straightforward alternative teach basic computer science concepts. Previous studies have reported increased interest improved collaboration were used. However, additional financial expenses often hindered in formal education settings. This work therefore presents low-cost customizable...
Past research has shown that the use of tangible programming platforms in computing education can enhance students' interest, engagement, and collaboration within workgroups. However, to this day, adoption such interfaces classrooms remained relatively scarce. This is possibly due expenses efforts necessary acquire, set up maintain platforms. In context, paper as a principal means interaction represents an inexpensive versatile solution, additionally harnesses prevalence classrooms. work,...
Zusammenfassung: Hintergrund: Die einschneidenden Veränderungen, welche moderne Gesellschaften durch die Digitalisierung erfahren haben, haben es unerlässlich gemacht, heutigen und künftigen Generationen höhere Kompetenzen als Rüstzeug für neue Lern- Arbeitswelt mitzugeben. Verwendung von digitalen Lernumgebungen zusammen mit maschinellem Lernen kann in diesem Kontext ein leistungsstarkes Werkzeug darstellen. Methoden: In der vorliegenden Übersichtsarbeit werden Chancen Herausforderungen im...
