Educational robotics has great potential as a learning tool at all levels, from kindergarten to the university. It provides rich opportunities for collaborative knowledge building and skills acquisition through the manipulation of and interaction with robots. Despite the remarkable progress in this field, the scope and impact of robot-based activities have primarily focused on the teaching of technical school subjects (i.e., computer science, mathematics, and physics). This work proposes to support the learning and teaching of non-technical school subjects through drama-based activities with multiple robots. This approach provides a multisensory learning environment where students can learn through representations or simulations of ideas, events, stories, phenomena, or processes using multiple robot actors. Based on the drama process used by teachers, we propose steps to create and perform plays with robot actors in an educational context and discuss different alternatives for its implementation. Finally, we discuss the challenges of creating plays with multiple robots for educational purposes.
Se presenta en este trabajo una metodología para el diseño de sistemas digitales sobre FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). Esta metodología inicia con el análisis de requerimientos del cliente y abarca hasta la implementación final en un dispositivo programable. La propuesta metodológica ha sido aplicada y probada en los cursos del área de Técnicas Digitales en la Carrera de Ingeniería Electrónica de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana – Bogotá, de acuerdo a un modelo de aprendizaje activo basado en proyectos (PBL, Project Based Learning) para lograr en los estudiantes un mayor conocimiento técnico significativo, aumentar su nivel de motivación hacia la ingeniería e incrementar su capacidad de comunicación, trabajo en equipo y capacidad de diseño. Todo esto es fruto del trabajo de investigación en educación en ingeniería que el grupo de profesores del área de Técnicas Digitales del Departamento de Electrónica de la Universidad, ha desarrollado en los últimos cuatro años.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
