Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aim & Content:
This course aims to explore the concept of educational robotics and social diversity from the perspective of media didactics. To extend and deepen their knowledge and understanding of educational robotics and social diversity, students will create a robotic camp for their future students as an alternative learning and teaching method in a diverse social environment. In the robotic camp, students will use Lego Mindstorms kits or the other facilities from the Computational Empowerments lab to create an activity that includes elements of lesson plans. The activity should be interactive, engaging, and incorporate the use of Lego Mindstorms kits and the other tools from the CE-Lab.
At the end of the course, student will be able to:
• Create alternative multiliterate learning and teaching materials such as digital stories and lesson plans.
• design and develop inclusive and engaging educational robotics activities that provide to a diverse audience, considering different learning styles and abilities.
• demonstrate competence in using educational robotic kits or other relevant tools from the Computational Empowerments lab to create functional robotic activities.
• apply the principles of participatory design to involve diverse stakeholders (students, teachers, community members) in the co-design of educational robotics activities, ensuring that their voices and needs are heard.
• collaborate with peers to plan and execute a robotic camp project, demonstrating effective teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills, while incorporating participatory design and computational thinking principles.

Assessment and permitted materials

Hinweis der SPL:
Die Verwendung von KI-Tools (z. B. ChatGPT) für die Produktion von Texten ist nur dann erlaubt, wenn dies von der Lehrveranstaltungsleitung ausdrücklich gefordert wird (z. B. für einzelne Arbeitsaufgaben).
