Robotics learning in early childhood (3 years): ab pattern

Publicated to:Edutec-e. Revista Electrónica de Tecnología Educativa. (72): 54-67 - 2020-06-01 (72), DOI: 10.21556/edutec.2019.67.1579

Abstract

Robotics is a technology that helps to understand and internalize mathematical concepts through the development of computational thinking. The objective of this study is to show that the use of the robot in 3-year-old children consolidates AB pattern learning. For this, a didactic sequence for two Infant classrooms is designed. From the third week, the robot is used into one of them. Also, in the last week, both groups solve the same challenges. After analyzing the data of the initial and final evaluation, as well as the recordings, it is concluded that the use of the robot contributes to obtaining better results at the cognitive, emotional, motivational and autonomy levels. It is pointed out that the abstraction limitations at these ages do not allow us to see the error when entering the commands, but when the robot is performing the action. In addition, the use of cards has been essential to help resolve difficulties with turn commands (left and right).
