Description

A design framework by Catlin and Blamires for identifying technology-, teacher-, and student-related considerations when developing educational robots.

Components

  • ERA Framework focal principles guiding educational robot design: The Educational Robot Applications (ERA) Framework (Catlin & Blamires) guides the design of educational robots by identifying areas to consider surrounding the technology, the teachers, and the students. The article states that "ERA is a framework to help guide the design of educational robots by identifying areas to consider surrounding the technology, the teachers, and the students." The authors focused on five principles: technology intelligence and interaction, student engagement, and teacher equity and practicality. These served both as design goals for Roversa and as a priori codes for analyzing educator feedback. (Bredder et al. (2026))
