Educational opportunities of educational robotics based on an android robotical device in preschool education

Abstract

Modern technologies in education are priority forms of implementing the new educational paradigm. Educational robotics, as one of them, is increasingly expressing itself in the system of preschool education. The lack of material and technical equipment, the fragmentation and lack of systematization of teaching materials and programs, the status uncertainty of the use of educational robotics in the educational process actualize the problem of educational opportunities for the use of information and service robotic devices in the field of preschool education. To collect the results, theoretical and empirical methods were used: analysis, classification, pedagogical diagnostics, observation, questioning, interviewing, generalization of the results. The study involved teachers, students of Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University, as well as children, parents, teachers and heads of educational organizations. A multiple overview typology of literature and teaching materials in this area is presented; characterized the state of children's technology parks - “Quantoriums” of the Chelyabinsk region, the achievements of the Scientific Production Association “Android Technology”; Based on the criteria of the developed diagnostic tools, an experimental study was conducted using the Robonova-1 android robotic device on the basis of private and municipal educational organizations. Based on the results of the study, a set of measures has been developed and presented aimed at enhancing the development of communicativeness, social adaptation of students, increasing parental competence, substantiating the pedagogical feasibility of using educational robotics in the educational process of modern preschool education; in connection with the promotion of new educational robotic technologies, the main forms of educational activity and the components of the educational process with their possible application are identified. In conclusion, ways to optimize and solve the problems are outlined.
