“…This also includes robotic ethics and human well being, as described in IEEE standard 7007 and IEEE standard 7007 [33] and in IEEE standard 7010 [19], which is about the recommended practices for assessing the impact of autonomous and intelligent systems on human well-being. Besides some pretty new researches have been done with fruitful results to HRI, ethics, and human well-being, actually, these topics are beyond the scope of the present paper, which is otherwise built over our previous research results [34,40]. From these previous works we noticed that it is important to standardize contents, skills, and evaluations for educational robotics [34].…”

“…With this in mind, in this paper we join and extend our two preliminary works. The first work has introduced the EDUROSC-Kids curriculum for teaching children from 6 years to 18 years old, where competencies, skills and levels of knowledge were established [34]. The second work has introduced an evaluation rubric for measuring the progress of learning by using three criteria (design, building and programming, and soft skills) [40].…”

With advances in science and technology, several innovative researches have been developed trying to figure out the main problems related to children's learning. It is known that issues such as frustration and inattention, between others, affect student learning. In this fashion, robotics is an important resource that can be used towards helping to solve these issues, empowering our students in order to push their learning up. In this case, robotic tools are generally used considering two different paradigms: as the main focus and as a secondary focus. Actually, these paradigms define the way that Educational Robotics is implemented in schools. Most of the approaches have implemented it as the main focus, which is teaching Robotics. Nevertheless, there are quite a few works that implement robotics as a secondary focus, which is currently assisting the learning process in several disciplines. The main contribution of this work is a complete three steps methodology for Robotics in Education to guide projects in order to either use it alone or to teach robotics with others topics. Our experiments show the importance of devising a study plan and evaluation method because the process is iterative and could improve the final results. As a novelty, here we have joined and extended our previous works by proposing a new set of methods with guidelines and strategies for applying the educational robotics standard curriculum for kids, named EDUROSC-Kids. We propose several tools that have been developed to organize the learning topics of Robotics for children, including the desired outcomes during the learning process. As said our current approach is divided in three steps (or phases): setting up the environment, defining the project, and performing evaluation. The proposed curriculum organizes robotics contents into five disciplines: Robotics and Society, Mechanics, Electronics, Programming, and Control Theory. Also, it considers a set of topics for each discipline and defines the level of knowledge that is recommended to achieve each group of children based on Bloom's Nomenclature. The contribution on this paper is a crucial step towards linking the general learning process with Educational Robotics approaches. Our methodology is validated by presenting practical experiences with application of EDUROSC-kids and the proposed method with a rubric guidelines into groups of children.

“…A robótica educacional é uma metodologia de ensino que visa estimular o aluno a praticar os conhecimentos aprendidos no conteúdo curricular, possibilitando e incentivando o trabalho em equipe, raciocínio lógico e estimulando a criatividade para desenvolver soluções [2] [12]. Essa metodologia tem embasamento teórico na teoria construtivista de Piaget [6], que considera a manipulação de objetos um método chave para que a criança, por si só, seja capaz de construir o seu próprio conhecimento.…”

A tecnologia é um recurso fundamental que traz impacto em todos os setores da vida cotidiana. Dessa forma, há hipóteses que apontam para uma demanda crescente por profissionais com habilidades e competências na área de computação, tanto no setor industrial quanto científico. No entanto, ainda há uma carência latente no que tange ao desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional no ensino básico, particularmente em sociedades com baixo nível socioeconômico. Existem diversas razões que vão muito além de recursos limitados, ou falta de interesse dos alunos, que inclui a dificuldade de entendimento e abstração dessas tecnologias, tanto por parte dos educadores, quanto dos alunos. Desta forma, este artigo propõe um método para exercitar o pensamento computacional utilizando a Matemática de maneira conjunta com duas estratégias bem sucedidas: a robótica educacional e a utilização de linguagem visual baseada em blocos gráficos arrastáveis. O UpRobotics é o artefato principal desta pesquisa, uma ferramenta voltada ao público escolar infantil, capaz de explorar conhecimentos científicos dos alunos, tanto matemáticos quanto computacionais, capacitando-os para manipular um braço robótico usando uma linguagem visual baseada em blocos.
