El-Hamamsy, Laila; Bruno, Barbara; Chessel-Lazzarotto, Frédérique; Chevalier, Morgane; Roy, Didier; Zufferey, Jessica Dehler; Mondada, Francesco – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
Educational Robotics (ER) has the potential to provide significant benefits to education, provided an increase in outreach by transitioning from the extra-curricular initiatives in which ER has thrived to formal education. As Computer Science (CS) Education is undergoing curricular reforms worldwide, the present study addresses the case of a…

Chevalier, Morgane; Giang, Christian; Piatti, Alberto; Mondada, Francesco – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Educational robotics (ER) is increasingly used in classrooms to implement activities aimed at fostering the development of students' computational thinking (CT) skills. Though previous works have proposed different models and frameworks to describe the underlying concepts of CT, very few have discussed how ER activities should be…

El-Hamamsy, Laila; Chessel-Lazzarotto, Frédérique; Bruno, Barbara; Roy, Didier; Cahlikova, Tereza; Chevalier, Morgane; Parriaux, Gabriel; Pellet, Jean-Philippe; Lanarès, Jacques; Zufferey, Jessica Dehler; Mondada, Francesco – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
Integrating computer science (CS) into school curricula has become a worldwide preoccupation. Therefore, we present a CS and Robotics integration model and its validation through a large-scale pilot study in the administrative region of the Canton Vaud in Switzerland. Approximately 350 primary school teachers followed a mandatory CS continuing…
