Using LEGO mindstorms as an instructional tool to teach science in primary education

Abstract

This paper reports a case study concerning the use of LEGO Mindstorms Robotics as an instructional tool in science education. In particular, the paper briefly delineates a teaching class module in the field of Science Education for the primary level. It is the authors’ expectation to evaluate the proposed methodology under a large-scale study designed to measure the effectiveness of this approach in terms of learning outcomes, students’ satisfaction, enjoyment and perceived usefulness.
