STEM视野下小学机器人教育的特点及启示

The Enlightenment of Robot Teaching in Primary School from STEM Perspective

机器人与编程教学有助于充分整合STEM学科知识,帮助培养学习者适应未来发展的技术和创新能力。目前我国中小学各阶段的机器人与编程的教学尚无相关课程标准和指导性教材,缺乏专业的校内师资队伍。梳理并提炼了国外中小学阶段STEM教育理念下机器人教育课程中教育形式,探究并重点分析其课堂教育的特征、教学形式、课程设置以及课例设计要素,以期为青少年机器人教学的课例设计提供启示和借鉴,为市场紧缺的机器人教育与编程专业人才的培养提供思路。

Robot technology and programming teaching can help learners fully integrate STEM knowledge. It is an important means to promote the implementation of STEM ideas in practice. It helps to cultivate learners’ key technical knowledge and innovation ability to adapt to the future development, and they may have a sustained impact on their future life and career. At present, the teaching of robotics and programming in primary and secondary schools in China is mostly taught by community activities and school-based courses. There are no relevant curriculum standards and professional guidance textbooks, and there is a lack of professional teachers.This paper fully refines the education form of robot education curriculum in foreign primary and secondary schools under STEM education concept. We explores and analyzes the characteristics of classroom education, teaching form, curriculum setting and curriculum design elements, in the hope of providing enlightenment and reference for the curriculum design of robot teaching for teenagers,and to provide reference for the cultivation of robot education and programming professionals who are in short supply in the market.
