Description

The article's redesigned methodology places a system of tasks at the core of the robotics course, with new knowledge acquired through solving problems rather than through fixed content sequences. As the authors state, "The main point of the task approach is that the acquisition of new knowledge occurs through the process of cognitive activity in solving the problem, which is set by a system of specially selected tasks." Tasks are organised in tables by competence (systems thinking, programming/artificial intelligence, project management, cross-industry communication) and by educational level, using medical-robotics problem situations. The set is explicitly not universal; it demonstrates the possibility of composing such a system.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Learning objectives are replaced by cross-professional competences, and the place-in-course and tools components are qualified by students themselves

Constraints

  • The presented set of tasks does not pretend to be universal and ultimate; it demonstrates didactic potential for improving the existing robotics training path

Target Learners

  • preschoolers
  • middle school students
  • high school students
  • university and supplementary education students

Learning Goals

  • systems thinking
  • programming and artificial intelligence skills
  • project management
  • cross-industry communication
