“…The analysis associating algebraic expressions to robot programs can be used by teachers as a support in motivating elementary algebra, a typical subject addressed in junior high schools. Also in this activity robotics is used as means to concretely manipulate topics of traditional disciplines, it is integrated in standard school curricula and becomes an active learning environment for students involved as described by Demo (2010). In a project currently going on in Spain, the activities with the NXT robot have been carried out using the iconic language NXT-G by Lego.…”

In this chapter we describe an inquiry based science education (IBSE) theoretical framework applied to robotics activities carried out in European K-12 classrooms during last six years. Interactions between IBSE, problem-based learning, constructivist/constructionist learning theories and technology are discussed. Example activities will show that educational robotics may capitalize on the digital curiosity of young people leading to concrete experiences in STEM content areas and spreading computational thinking in all school types and levels. Cooperation among different stakeholders (students, teachers, scientific and disseminating institutions, families) is emphasized in order to exploit in and out of the school resources, competences and achievements and for implementing a peer-to-peer education among students and teachers inside the same class/school or from different schools.

In this chapter, the authors describe an inquiry-based science education (IBSE) theoretical framework as it was applied to robotics activities carried out in European K-12 classrooms during the last six years. Interactions between IBSE, problem-based learning, constructivist/constructionist learning theories, and technology are discussed. Example activities demonstrate that educational robotics capitalizes on the digital curiosity of young people. This leads to concrete experiences in STEM content areas and spreads computational thinking to all school types and levels. Cooperation among different stakeholders (students, teachers, scientific and disseminating institutions, families) is emphasized in order to exploit in and out of the classroom school resources, competencies, and achievements and for implementing peer-to-peer education among students and teachers in the same class/school or from different schools.
