“…When considering Basic Education, ER's use involves several goals: teaching programming, teaching robotics as a science, interdisciplinary science teaching, PC development, participation in tournaments, and Olympics [Souza et al 2021c]; offered in an intra-curricular or extra-curricular way. Although the purpose of educational practices with ER is diverse, it is possible to identify a practical nature involving problem situations, whether to teach curriculum science or programming logic [Souza et al 2021c]. The student is engaged in "learning by doing", commonly called hands-on.…”

“…However, we used the Anthropological Theory of Didactic indirectly when we applied our educational process. In [Souza et al 2022], we showed our educational process based on the Anthropological Theory of Didactic and ER consolidated methodologies to teach sciences like LEGO ® Education [ZOOM 2010], besides our ER experiences [Souza et al 2016a, Souza et al 2016b, Isabelle M. L. et al 2019, Souza et al 2021b, Souza et al 2021c. In this study, we described the results of an intervention that observed how high school students develop CT skills with or without contact with our educational process.…”

Problem-solving is an essential human development skill that can be fostered through Computational Thinking (CT). Programming education has been explored to develop CT in High Schools. However, teaching programming can be challenging, being necessary educational processes that improve guidelines to direct this teaching. In the past, we proposed an educational process based on methods for teaching programming with Educational Robotics (ER) and the Anthropological Theory of Didactics. However, we still need to conclude the effectiveness validation of this educational process. This study aims to evaluate our educational process’s effectiveness in developing Technical and Vocational High School students’ CT skills. We intend to answer the research question: RQ) How effective is the impact of an educational process of teaching programming with ER on students’ CT skills in High School? The development of CT skills was evaluated through the Román-Gonzalez CT Test. The overall results indicated that the educational process is effective in teaching programming with ER impacting CT skills. This study’s result contributes to the scientific community in the sense of guiding the validation of an educational process.

“…In addition, the implications of using cell phone applications to command robots with elementary school students in school was investigated (Yi andTing, 2020 in Kong et al, 2020). Finally, researchers Souza et al (2019), studied the implication of computational thinking in mathematics through robotics.…”

This research studies the effects of the application of didactics to the teaching of computer programming, focusing on programming skills in the Python computer language. The problem arises from the failure and dropout rates of students in computer programming in computer science careers in INACAP and the consequent interest in promoting better learning. The general objective is to study the effects of an innovative methodology, based on Brown and Wilson's didactic principles, on the teaching process of Python programming in computer science students at INACAP. The theoretical framework is based on the didactics of teaching computer programming and the concepts of computational thinking skills of various theoretical references, and in particular on the didactic principles of Brown and Wilson. This research is carried out with a quantitative methodology of explanatory scope and with a quasi-experimental design, with a purposive sample, for the experimental stage the sample will consist of 100 first year undergraduate students of Computer Science, of which 50 will be the experimental group and 50 will be the control group. The hypothesis proposed is that “The students in the experimental group obtain a higher performance when applying Brown and Wilson's didactic principles than the students in the control group who are taught in a traditional way.” The data collection technique used will be a 45-question multiple-choice test. The data analysis will be performed by applying statistical criteria, comparison of means and variances, among others.

“…These robots do not offer the same accuracy as industrial robots but enough when the goal is to take advantage of their virtues at an educational level. Robotics and computational thinking are topics to be investigated [48]. Among all these low-cost robotic platforms, LEGO Mindstorms stands out.…”

Gamification for Maths and Physics in University Degrees through a Transportation Challenge

Our society is immersed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution due to the fast evolution of the new technologies that are modifying the labor market. In the near future, technologies related to Industry 4.0 will produce totally new goods and services. Therefore, the educational systems should adapt their programs to the future needs of an uncertain labor market. In particular, mathematics will play a key role in future jobs and there is a strong need to connect its teaching methodologies to the new technological scene. This work uses the STEAM approach (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) along with active methodologies and educational robotics with the aim of developing a new strategy for the application of mathematics and physics in an engineering degree. In particular, a transportation challenge is posed to tackle the teaching–learning process of the Bézier curves and their applications in physics. A pilot project is developed using a LEGO EV3 robot and an active methodology, where students become the center of the learning process. The experimental results of the pilot study indicate an increase in the motivation due to the use of robots and the realistic context of the challenge.
