Development of Competencies of Elementary School Pupils Using Educational Robotic Kits

Abstract

The study deals with educational robotic kits and its influence on the pupils' key competency development during the educational process. The paper further focuses on the problem-solving competency of the pupils in project-based learning with the use of educational robotic kits. First, the paper describes the introduction to the question of robotic construction kits, as well as the key competencies and project-based learning. Subsequently, it establishes the research question and represents the research methodology and the results as such. Together with the results, it presents a literature review of published research in the given field. On the basis of established data, a particular set of educational and methodical materials for project-based learning was designed. The study itself will benefit teachers using educational robotics during the educational process.
