ROBOTICS in the Primary School how to do it

摘要

The paper describes how to introduce primary school children to robotics. Robotics is a part of ICT education and is implemented using LEGO constructional material. The principles on which the teaching method is based are outlined. The prerequisite conditions for a successful teaching environment are made clear. The teaching approach described has developed over many years of everyday teaching practice in primary schools in Bulgaria. Robotics is considered, not as a school experiment or short term attraction but in terms of curriculum. In Bulgaria robotics can officially be part of a school# s curriculum, important for children# s knowledge, children# s thinking, and children# s experience. It demands a lengthy, organized and systematic process of teaching.
