Developing Technological Knowledge and Programming Skills of Secondary Schools Students through the Educational Robotics Projects
Abstract
Many pedagogical approaches that are mainly used in order to develop technological knowledge and programming skills of students at schools are mostly theoretically-oriented. They are based on the traditional model of transfer of finished knowledge between a teacher and a student.
Exploitation of educational robotics project into the education at schools has the potential to change the students' access to the knowledge and skills through their own work and experiments under the supervision of teachers and tutors. The paper describes study that was aimed at identify the potential and aspects of exploitation of educational robotics project in education at secondary schools and training teachers in order to develop technological knowledge and programming skills of secondary school students in practically-oriented ways of education.
