Contributions of Robotics to Inclusive Education

EasyChair Preprint 7009

Abstract

The Educational robotics (ER) is entering to the schools gradually generating a positive attitude in the students because of active methodologies accompanied by recreational as well as functional activities and dynamic practices. Welcoming to the entire population in its diversity is the objective of the public and private organizations which assist the education of the population. This study makes an analysis of the research made the recent years related to robotics and educational inclusion, following the heuristic and hermeneutic methodology, to stablish some basis to make an approximation of the contributions that robotics can offer to the educational inclusion. The results show a growing use of ER as a learning tool that arouses the interest and enriches the training, creativity, social, and communicative skills. As a conclusion of this study, the robotics strengthens two essential components in the meaningful learning, by one side, the emotional profile, encouraging the student to set goals, and by the other hand, the cognitive one, that carries to the acquisition of competences for an eventual and inclusive professional life.
