“…This study focuses on two aspects of computational thinking, such as algorithmic thinking and debugging skills, using scaffolding programming scripts in an undergraduate training in educational technology. The results show a statistically significant improvement in learning in the algorithmic thinking and debugging skills of preparatory teachers in the context of LEGO WeDo robot programming activities [2].…”

The market trends that are determining the electronics industry today point to a sharp increase in the use of IoT devices, sensors are collecting data around us, using wireless data transmission technologies to transmit the measured values to cloud-based databases, which are processed with various software. Low-power microcontrollers developed for battery power, which are widely used today, provide sensor data collection and data transfer control.In this article, we present a literature search on the technical IT teaching tools in use today, some of which are inherently educational and popular with students and teachers. We pay attention to the educational principles of technical IT methods.We show with examples how technical IT solutions can provide an appropriate experiential learning opportunity and background in programming education. We focus on teaching methods that use microcontrollers and various sensors to develop programming skills and acquire programming knowledge. By developing both computational and algorithmic thinking, we aim to develop both skills.

“…Bagaimanapun, penggunaan Lego Mindstorm dalam pembelajaran terbukti bermanfaat terutama bagi siswa dan dianjurkan untuk terus diterapkan dalam pemrograman dasar untuk hasil belajar yang lebih baik (Álvarez & Larrañaga, 2013). Pengajar pra-jabatan dan dalam jabatan perlu dipersiapkan untuk melaksanakan robotika dalam pendidikan dengan percaya diri dan nyaman terutama di kelas sains dan matematika (Angeli, 2022) sebagai contoh robotika yang dapat digunakan adalah Lego Mindstorm. Sesi persiapan merupakan aktifitas selama 10 -15 menit yang bertujuan sebagai apersepsi.…”

<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN">School extracurricular activities can be a vehicle to facilitate the development of students' talents and interests. This activityintegrates Lego Mindstorm EV3 Robotics into programming extracurricular activities at PPQ IT Al Mahir, Karanganyar. Through the integration of the Lego Mindstorm EV3 obotics into programming extracurricular activities, it is hoped that it will be a bridge for students to strengthen their Computational Thinking skills and interest in stem careers of students of The Quran Islamic Boarding School and IT Al Mahir Karanganyar. This service aims to develop the character of the Pancasila Student profile according to the purpose of the Merdeka Curriculum. The activity was carried out in the period from July to October 2022. The three stages in the implementation of this service are 1) preparation, 2) robotics project training, and 3) data collection.</span></p>

“…The teachers can be in service or students preparing to be teachers (Esteve-Mon et al, 2019;Angeli, 2022), mainly in primary school (one case also in kindergarten). The number of subjects involved in the studies varies from 4 and 350, just like the kind of research that can be organized as experimental or quasi-experimental with pre-post tests on computational thinking, digital competencies, algorithmic thinking, and debugging skills (IN-COTIC and CT test in Esteve-Mon et al, 2019, Technology Usage Inventory, TUI in Tengler and Sabitzer, 2022) or according to qualitative or mixed approaches.…”

In recent years, due to technological advancement, research has been directed to the development and analysis of resources and tools related to educational robotics with particular attention to the field of special needs and training actions aimed at learners, teachers, professionals, and families. The use of robotics in all levels of education can support the development of logical and computational thinking, interaction, communication, and socialization, and the acquisition of particularly complex work practices, for example, in the medical field. The adoption of successful educational robotics training practices can be a potential tool to support rehabilitation interventions for disabilities and comprehensive training for students or future professionals in healthcare. A scoping review was conducted on the main topics “education” AND “robotics” with three specific focuses on complementary themes in educational research about ER: (1) teaching and computational thinking, (2) training in the health sector, and (3) education and special needs. The authors systematically searched two online databases, Scopus and Web of Science, up to April 2022. A total of 164 articles were evaluated, and 59 articles were analyzed, in a particular way N = 33 related to computational thinking, N = 15 related to e-health, and N = 11 related to special needs. The following four questions guided our research: (1) What are the educational and experimental experiences conducted through robotics in transdisciplinary fields? (2) What tools and resources are most used in such experiments (educational robotics kit, humanoid robots, telepresence robots etc.)? (3) What are the constitutive elements of the experiments and studies involving robotics and health in educational contexts? and (4) What are those explicitly related to students with special needs? In this study, part of the research project “Robotics and E-health: new Challenges for Education” (RECE) activated at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. RECE aims to investigate the training, educational, cognitive, and legal processes induced by the increasing diffusion of educational robotics and telemedicine in clinical and surgical contexts.
