Theoretical-methodological proposal for training in educational robotics for computer science teachers

Propuesta teórico metodológica para la formación en robótica educativa del profesor de informática

Abstract

Cuba is immersed in a Third Improvement of the National Education System that establishes the gradual implementation of disruptive technologies such as educational robotics, in order to achieve an educational process contextualized to digital technological development. This aspect constitutes a challenge for the computer science teacher, who in his pedagogical practice reflects deficiencies in terms of preparation for the use of these educational technologies, which limits his technical-methodological preparation to implement educational robotics, to the pedagogical process he manages. In this sense, the following work aims to assess the effectiveness of the improvement strategy for training in educational robotics, which is structured in three stages with various actions among which training is carried out with the application of the b-learning, i-learning and flipped classroom methodologies, which contribute to the forms of organization from the Moodle educational digital platform. Different methods and techniques were used that allowed to improve the professional performance modes of this teacher, from raising his technical-methodological preparation in the use of educational robotics. The results of the proposal contribute to the training of computer science teachers in educational robotics.
