Emerging Pedagogies in Robotics Education: Towards a Paradigm Shift

Abstract

This paper comments on the current situation in robotics education at school level and introduces the need for a paradigm shift towards the incorporation of making culture and practices. Then emerging pedagogies are suggested inspired from the maker movement to inform the pedagogical foundations where the INBOTS project interventions in school education are being built. The paper concludes with the INBOTS method of work and ambition to reform and improve robotics school education.
