¿Que es la Robótica Educativa?

Es una corriente educativa utilizada actualmente en el nivel básico en Japón, Estados Unidos, España, Corea, India, entre otros paises desarrollados.

Consiste en crear en las aulas un ambiente de aprendizaje dinámico y multidisciplinario de manera natural (matemáticas, ciencias naturales y experimentales, tecnología, ciencias de la información y comunicación)

La Robótica Educativa privilegia el aprendizaje inductivo y por descubrimiento guiado, lo cual asegura el diseño y experimentación, de un conjunto de situaciones didácticas que permiten a los estudiantes construir su propio conocimiento.

 REASONS FOR TEACHING EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS

 Due to the characteristics and advantages offered by educational robotics and the potential improvement in the evaluation of the educational level in our country, the efforts to better the quality of teaching, above all in the sciences and mathematics, it is of prime importance to achieve this goal in the Mexican educational system.

It has been shown that In Educational Robotics the necessity of focusing on thought provoking and dynamic teaching methods and multidis-ciplines which lead to critical thoughtfulness and logic in the minds of the students as well as learning teamwork.

• Looking forward to creating people with new abilities and concepts capable of presenting efficient alternative solutions to present worldwide problems.

• To facilitate the reasoning and logic necessary by which the students may reflect over the whys of things as they are, and to experiment with and learn to understand the repercussions of their decisions.

• To develop the capacity to work as a team (teamwork) and to take cooperative, team decisions and to respect the ideas of others.

 

Korean Concept

“In the Twenty First Century human beings will have to coexist with the first artificial extraterrestrial intelligence in human history: robots. It will be an encounter which will provoke problems of the ethnic, social and economic types.”.

The above premise being taken as a given, the South Korean government called upon, the leaders of all cultural, academic, poilitical, business, religious, professional sectors to adapt a document which would be the “Magna Carta” establishing the ethics in Human-Robot relations:

THE MAGNA CARTA OF ETHICS IN SOUTH KOREAN ROBOTICS

South Korea began to use Educational Robotics in the 90’s, as interesting workshops outside the classroom and due to the results they have modified their educational schemes and since 1998 to include curricular activities in order to develop student talent through Robotics Presently all of the students in Korea study or studied robotics as part of their curricular or extracurricular program, developing knowledgeable abilities which led their country to attain second place in the world in educational quality in the PISA Test in 2007.
THE SOUTH KOREAN VISION OF ROBOTICS BY 2020:The age distribution in South Korea presents an enormous challenge. Who will care for the elderly in 2020? There will not be enough young people, so then the company’s welfare robotics will assume a pre-ponderant role, to such a degree that the Korean community will commit to the proposal that for the year 2020, there must be at least one robot in every home. The only way to attain this goal will be through the extension of the industry and the availability of robots at an affordable price to every person in the country.

Educational Robotics in Mexico

While in South Korea they are defining as a premise the ethics of Man-Robot relations, while in Mexico the question will a rise… Do such relations exist?

At the present time Robotics in the academic sector is encountering very serious challenges in institutions at all levels which often stress students in competitions at the world level, but these occurrences have been rare. An educational policy does yet not exist which privileges the use of robotics as a means of strengthening knowledge in students. Fortunately action has been taken against problems that loom from time to time in the educational sector.
The challenge in Mexico is to provide every student with access to robotic educational material. Our firm takes this challenge and compromise to heart and sees it as our main effort and goal to assure that every student in Mexico has access to our products and services. That is why it is necessary to achieve economic remedies which reduce the cost of materials, and also to create special channels throughout the republic to be able to meet these product and service demands.
