Israel Ulises Cayetano-Jimenez; Erick Axel Martinez-Rios; Rogelio Bustamante-Bello; Ricardo A. Ramirez-Mendoza; Maria Soledad Ramirez-Montoya – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Educational robotics (ER) is a discipline of applied robotics focused on teaching robot design, analysis, application, and operation. Traditionally, ER has favored rigid robots, overlooking the potential of soft robots (SRs). While rigid robots offer insights into dynamics, kinematics, and control, they have limitations in exploring the depths of…

Francesco C. Ugolini; Panagiotis Kakavas – Research on Education and Media, 2024
This study consists of a 17-year (2006-2021) systematic literature review on the effective instructional strategies for developing Computational Thinking (CT) in primary school students (K-5). The aim of this paper is to identify instructional strategies that have been implemented and evaluated by means of a pre- and post-test, with the aim of…

Ronsivalle, G. B.; Boldi, A.; Gusella, V.; Inama, C.; Carta, S. – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2019
Nowadays, children and teenagers use technology products in an increasingly passive way. As simple consumers they cannot benefit from the opportunities of designing technology, which has a learning value. Educational Robotics (ER) programs are particularly effective in delivering contents of difficult disciplines: they can re-establish a balance…

West, Darrell M.; Bleiberg, Joshua – Brookings Institution, 2013
Advances in technology are enabling dramatic changes in education content, delivery, and accessibility. Throughout history, new technologies have facilitated the exponential growth of human knowledge. In the early twentieth century, the focus was on the use of radios in education. But since then, innovators have seen technology as a way to improve…

Billard, Aude; Robins, Ben; Nadel, Jacqueline; Dautenhahn, Kerstin – Assistive Technology, 2007
The Robota project constructs a series of multiple-degrees-of-freedom, doll-shaped humanoid robots, whose physical features resemble those of a human baby. The Robota robots have been applied as assistive technologies in behavioral studies with low-functioning children with autism. These studies investigate the potential of using an imitator robot…
