Abstract:

This pedagogical proposal presents the use of robotics for a ludic learning, since the late 1980s, when robotics was first introduced into the classroom, mobile robotics are used in education at all levels and various subjects. These courses are usually divided into lecture and laboratory sessions. At the lecture sessions students learn and at the laboratory sessions, students experiment on real or simulated robots. Experiments are done on robotics concepts and most times students are required to use concepts they learned in other courses, such as control and programming. Previous research has demonstrated that professors' and learners’ view towards an educational potencial of robotics and the strong influences of their learning outcomes and learning process.

On the other hand, the new technologies into science education classrooms has been an important aspect of preparing teachers for a changing educational environment.

This project explores the use of lego mindstorms ev3 mobile robots to develop instructional strategies to guide the learning process, increase students’ understanding of concepts and their practical application in mathematics subjects, with a ludical learning, supported in a constructionist model.
