困境与破局:我国机器人教育的研究与发展

Dilemma and Solution: Research and Development of Chinese Robot Education

机器人教育是STEAM教育和创客教育两者相结合的一种新教育活动形式,旨在培养学生的创造力和动手实践能力。文章从我国机器人教育研究与发展的现状入手,发现机器人教育历经了20多年的发展,已经取得了相对丰硕的研究成果,基本上形成了一系列的活动实践模式。文章也发现当前机器人教育在实践中遇到了一系列的困难或问题,如专业师资缺乏、课程体系差异性太大、监管体系缺乏和父母参与缺失等。文章认为,要打破这些僵局,就需采用一些对策,如专业化的教师在职培训与提升、机器人教育的课程建设、移动云学习平台的搭建和学生家长的积极参与等。

Robot education is a form of new educational activity implemented by the combination of STEAM education and Maker education. It aims to cultivate students＇ creativity and practical ability. This paper starts from the current research and development situation of domestic robot education. The study finds out that, after more that 20 years＇ development, domestic robot education has made fruitful results and has generally formed a series of activity modes. Obstacles are also found during the application process of Robot education, such as insufficient professional teachers, discrepant curriculum systems, lack of regulatory system and inadequate parental participation. The article argues that we need to adopt some countermeasures to break these deadlocks, such as professional teacher training and upgrading, construction of robot education curriculum, establishment of the mobile cloud learning platform and active participation of the parents.
