Robótica Educacional, Ensino De Química E Aprendizagem Cooperativa: Uma Proposta Para O Curso De Ensino Superior Em Engenharia Civil

Abstract

EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS, CHEMISTRY TEACHING AND COOPERATIVE LEARNING: A PROPOSAL FOR THE COURSE OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN CIVIL ENGINEERING. Students, generally, are afraid of studying chemistry because they understand that it is a very complex area of knowledge and that it doesn’t has use in daily lives and in intended profession, which is a problem we identified in a Civil Engineering course. With this, we proposed a project in this course, based on educational robotics and educational cooperation, with the intention to form a group of students and a teacher to make a robot involving chemical knowledge in civil construction. The group made a robot, using an Arduino kit and material recycling, to identify electrochemical corrosion in concrete structures. We conducted a case study about the group through the analysis of gestures, products made, and notes in a notebook, from which two cooperative categories emerged: planning and application. From these categories, we identified that the students had their cognitive structures unbalanced by difficult situations, trials, errors, and diverse knowledge. The formation of a new equilibrium condition resulted from individual and social developments in constant interdependence, allowing the joint construction of knowledge, whose complexity increased during the process and culminated in the realization of the robot. All these aspects characterized cooperative learning.

Impact of Low-Cost Robot EducThermoBot vs. EXAO on Students' Motivation and Learning in Physical Sciences in Morocco

“…As part of this initiative, the educational robot (ER) has emerged as a modern and reliable ICT resource that can be effectively integrated into the teaching and learning of scientific concepts. Indeed, the ER plays a significant role in teaching scientific concepts across various disciplines, such as thermodynamics [10], mathematics [11], chemistry [12], programming [13], [14], industry [15], [16], and even language learning [17].…”

Robotics as a Teaching Strategy for Professional and Technological Education Subjects in Brazil between 2017 and 2022: An Integrative Review

“…Robotics in the context of the chemistry curriculum component offers students an education centered on their direct participation. The teacher as a mediator in the teaching-learning process allows the student to express themselves freely, questioning and discussing possibilities in collaborative work, ranging from the reuse of various materials to the construction of prototypes, sharpening their curiosity and creativity.The presence of robotics in the classroom favors meaningful learning for the student, allowing them to seek other alternative methods and materials where they can develop and improve their knowledge in a contextualized way(PEREIRA JÚNIOR, 2014;PINHEIRO;SOARES, 2022).…”
