Although students are increasingly involved in extra learning activities aimed at enriching the attributes and the contents of conventional educational programmes, still little is known on the main implications of these initiatives. Embracing a Learning Analytics (LA) perspective, the article sheds light on the effects triggered by students’ involvement in innovative educational activities and learning processes co-financed by the Call no. 10862/2016 issued by the National Operative Programme (PON) 2014/2020. We implemented a three-step study design, which consisted of: 1) a descriptive analysis; 2) a principal component analysis; and 3) a discrete choice regression analysis. Our findings pointed out that educational activities and learning processes were especially effective in improving social relationships at school; moreover, they contributed in increasing the students’ willingness to expand their horizons. © 2019, Italian e-Learning Association.

The learning process of theoretical concepts such as the model of a distributed environment and different distributed algorithms together with their execution and correctness requires time and is often considered by students a hard and non-challenging issue. In this paper we suggest adopting a more practical approach based on real implementations of distributed algorithms with the help of robots. A learning-by-doing approach can, in our opinion, help students acquiring a deeper knowledge of the model and of the algorithms, and can also stimulate them, and let them improve their teamwork skills. In this paper, we present a specific case study of a practical project, run for two consecutive years at the University Ca Foscari of Venice, inside an International Master of Computer Science course of Advanced Algorithms. The students for their final exam had to work in groups and their task was to design and implement a distributed algorithm to solve an assigned problem, using a Lego Mindstorm EV3 robot and a Makeblock mBot robot. In this paper, we discuss the positive effects of such a non-traditional teamwork approach by analyzing the teacher’s perception, the feasible impact on the students’ grades, and the students’ involvement and positive feeling, highlighted by the results of some questionnaires proposed at the beginning and the end of the projects. We finally discuss the limits of such an approach and possible improvements.
理论概念的学习过程,如分布式环境的模型和不同的分布式算法,以及它们的执行和正确性,都需要时间,并且经常被学生认为是一个困难而没有挑战性的问题。在本文中,我们建议在机器人的帮助下采用基于分布式算法的实际实现的更实用的方法。在我们看来,边做边学的方法可以帮助学生对模型和算法有更深入的了解,也可以激发他们,提高他们的团队合作能力。在本文中,我们提出了一个实际项目的具体案例研究,该项目在威尼斯Ca Foscari大学的国际计算机科学硕士课程高级算法中连续两年运行。在期末考试中,学生们必须分组合作,他们的任务是使用乐高Mindstorm EV3机器人和Makeblock mBot机器人设计并实现一个分布式算法来解决指定的问题。在本文中,我们通过分析教师的感知,对学生成绩的可行影响,学生的参与和积极感受来讨论这种非传统团队合作方式的积极作用,重点是在项目开始和结束时提出的一些问卷调查的结果。我们最后讨论了这种方法的局限性和可能的改进。

Due to advancements in sensor and actuator technology robots are becoming more and more common in everyday life. Many of the areas in which they are introduced demand close physical and social contact. In the last ten years the use of robots has also increasingly spread to the field of didactics, starting with their use as tools in STEM education. With the advancement of social robotics, the use of robots in didactics has been extended also to tutoring situations in which these “socially aware” robots interact with mainly children in, for example, language learning classes. In this paper we will give a brief overview of how robots have been used in this kind of settings until now. As a result it will become transparent that the majority of applications are not grounded in didactic theory. Recognizing this shortcoming, we propose a theory driven approach to the use of educational robots, centred on the idea that the combination of enactive didactics and social robotics holds great promises for a variety of tutoring activities in educational contexts. After defining our “Enactive Robot Assisted Didactics” approach, we will give an outlook on how the use of humanoid robots can advance it. On this basis, at the end of the paper, we will describe a concrete, currently on-going implementation of this approach, which we are realizing with the use of Softbank Robotics’ Pepper robot during university lectures.
由于传感器和执行器技术的进步,机器人在日常生活中变得越来越普遍。它们被引入的许多地区需要密切的身体和社会接触。在过去的十年里,机器人的使用也越来越多地扩展到教学领域,首先是在STEM教育中作为工具使用。随着社交机器人技术的进步,机器人在教学中的应用也已扩展到辅导情境中,这些具有“社交意识”的机器人主要与儿童互动,例如,在语言学习课程中。在本文中,我们将简要概述到目前为止机器人是如何在这种环境中使用的。因此,它将变得透明,大多数应用程序不是基于教学理论。认识到这一缺点,我们提出了一种理论驱动的方法来使用教育机器人,其核心思想是,主动教学和社交机器人的结合为各种教育背景下的辅导活动带来了巨大的希望。在定义了我们的“主动机器人辅助教学”方法之后,我们将展望人形机器人的使用如何推进它。在此基础上,在论文的最后,我们将描述一种具体的,目前正在进行的这种方法的实现,我们在大学讲座期间使用软银机器人公司的Pepper机器人来实现。

In the past years, the use of educational robots has steadily increased, in particular due to the ongoing digitalization of modern societies and the new skills that professions require. It has been argued that educational robotics activities have the potential to promote the acquisition of such skills and may increase pupils’ interest in STEM disciplines. Despite these results, only few studies have examined the pupils’ perspective regarding the pedagogical value of educational robotics in formal education. Therefore, in this study with 91 pupils aged between 13 and 15 years, we aimed at investigating how pupils perceive educational robotics as a tool to improve their creativity, collaboration, computer science and computational thinking skills and to foster their interest in STEM disciplines. Over a period of one semester, the pupils worked with the robot Thymio II and evaluated their experience through a questionnaire. The results showed that boys and girls have different perceptions on which competences they could enhance: while boys affirmed more often than girls, that they could improve their computer science and computational thinking skills, the opposite was found for collaboration and creativity. Moreover, the results illustrated that educational robotics activities could increase the interest in coding, computer science and engineering, however, this was predominantly observed in boys.
在过去的几年里,教育机器人的使用稳步增加,特别是由于现代社会的持续数字化和职业所需的新技能。有人认为,教育机器人活动有可能促进这些技能的获得,并可能增加学生对STEM学科的兴趣。尽管有这些结果,只有少数研究调查了学生对正规教育中教育机器人的教学价值的看法。因此,在这项针对91名年龄在13至15岁之间的学生的研究中,我们旨在调查学生如何将教育机器人视为一种工具,以提高他们的创造力、协作能力、计算机科学和计算思维技能,并培养他们对STEM学科的兴趣。在一个学期的时间里,学生们与机器人Thymio II一起工作,并通过问卷调查评估他们的体验。结果显示,男孩和女孩对他们可以提高的能力有不同的看法:男孩比女孩更经常地肯定他们可以提高他们的计算机科学和计算思维技能,而在合作和创造力方面则相反。此外,研究结果表明,教育机器人活动可以增加对编码、计算机科学和工程的兴趣,然而,这主要发生在男孩身上。

The scientific community of educators has been more and more interested in Tinkering as an informal method to engage students with STEM subjects. Recent research has highlighted that Tinkering could be adopted not only to develop students’ scientific knowledge but also to support thinking processes such as Critical Thinking and Creative Problem Solving. Despite these assumptions, there is still a lack of research concerning the impact of Tinkering on the development of the 21st Century skills. That is why the Centre for Museum Studies - University of Roma Tre investigated the impact of Tinkering activities on Critical and Creative thinking skills enhancement in museum educators and teachers involved in STEM education. The Centre for Museum Studies conducted a pilot study with 30 participants at Citta della Scienza science centre (Naples), where museum educators and STEM teachers participated in a two-day workshop on collaborative Tinkering activities. During the workshop, participants were required to take two kinds of pre and post-tests with the aim of assessing Critical and Creative thinking skills development. On the one hand, in the Creative Thinking post-test participants showed significant improvement. On the other hand, despite there were no statistical differences concerning Critical Thinking assessment, a slight improvement in the post-test could be quantified. Follow up research is required, where it will be necessary to expand the sample of the study and use different measures for Critical and Creative Thinking assessment.
科学界的教育工作者越来越感兴趣的是,修补作为一种非正式的方法,让学生参与到STEM学科中来。最近的研究强调,修修补补不仅可以用来发展学生的科学知识,还可以用来支持批判性思维和创造性解决问题的思维过程。尽管有这些假设,但关于修修补补对21世纪技能发展的影响的研究仍然缺乏。这就是为什么罗马第三大学博物馆研究中心调查了修补活动对参与STEM教育的博物馆教育工作者和教师的批判性和创造性思维技能提高的影响。博物馆研究中心在Citta della Scienza科学中心(那不勒斯)与30名参与者进行了一项试点研究,博物馆教育工作者和STEM教师参加了为期两天的协作修补活动研讨会。在研讨会期间,参与者被要求进行两种测试,目的是评估批判性和创造性思维技能的发展。一方面,在创造性思维测试后,参与者表现出了显著的进步。另一方面,尽管在批判性思维评估方面没有统计学差异,但在后测试中略有改善可以量化。后续研究是必需的,这将是必要的,以扩大研究的样本,并使用不同的措施,批判性和创造性思维的评估。

Despite historical failure trends and mixed results on the effectiveness of online learning for all students, schools are witnessing the continual emergence of electronic instructional mediums. Research shows that students from educationally underserved homes experience less parent involvement (Hill and Tyson, 2009; Smith, 2006), and less academic gains than students from higher social economic families (Smith 2006). With the rapid infusion of online learning in traditional learning environments, some may perceive less need for parental guidance and intervention, however research shows that online learning may actually require parents to shoulder an increasing instructional role in their child’s learning (Borup, Graham, and Davies, 2013; Liu, Black, Algina, Cavanaugh, and Dawson, 2010). This quantitative study examines the relationships between online learning, socioeconomic status, and parental understanding and involvement in a diverse k – 12 district. Findings show that relationships exist between these variables, calling into question the development, implementation and evaluation of such instruction for populations already at risk.
尽管历史上的失败趋势和在线学习对所有学生的有效性的好坏参半的结果,学校正在见证电子教学媒介的不断出现。研究表明,来自教育服务不足家庭的学生经历了较少的父母参与(Hill和Tyson, 2009;史密斯,2006),并且比来自较高社会经济家庭的学生学习成绩更少(史密斯,2006)。随着在线学习在传统学习环境中的快速渗透,一些人可能认为不需要父母的指导和干预,然而研究表明,在线学习实际上可能需要父母在孩子的学习中承担越来越多的指导作用(Borup, Graham, and Davies, 2013;Liu, Black, Algina, Cavanaugh, and Dawson, 2010)。本定量研究考察了在线学习、社会经济地位和家长的理解和参与在一个多样化的k - 12学区之间的关系。调查结果表明,这些变量之间存在着关系,这就对为已经处于危险中的人群制定、执行和评价这种指导提出了疑问。

Findings show that relationships exist between these variables, calling into question the development, implementation and evaluation of such instruction for populations already at risk.","PeriodicalId":44748,"journal":{"name":"Journal of E-Learning and Knowledge Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2019-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85653369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article proposes an intervention framed under a single-subject research design where robotics and a 3D virtual environment are used jointly to improve the development of Theory of Mind in children with ASD. The project aims at verifying if the use of a humanoid robot, with high interactive abilities and responses, along with a virtual robot in a social virtual world can enable an improved comprehension of emotions and perspective taking. Specifically the planned activities are designed to gradually support the subjects with ASD in interactional settings in order to make them acquire the needed self-confidence to finally interact with a classmate in the virtual environment.

Social Robots supporting the Inclusion of Unaccompanied Migrant Children: Teaching the Meaning of Culture-Related Gestures 支持无人陪伴的流动儿童融入社会的社交机器人:教授文化相关手势的意义

Social robots are being used successfully as educational technologies, playing roles of tutors and therapeutic assistants. In our research, we wish to explore how social robots can be used to tutor a second language to unaccompanied minor migrants and support their integration in a new culture. These young migrants are among those most at risk in the area of child and youth welfare. In this paper, we focus on a particular aspect of a second language teaching that concerns culture-related gestures that are important for supporting the social inclusion of these children. Since gesture learning relies on the understanding of the social situation, in which interaction and repeated practice are essential, social humanoid robots seem to be an adequate interaction mean since they can provide both examples of gesture executions and explanations about the meaning and the context in which the gesture should be used. Moreover, as in other assistive domains, social robots may be used to attract the children attention and support the social operator in establishing a contact with these children that very often, after the difficulties of the journey, do not trust adults. Results of a preliminary study show the efficacy of the proposed approach in learning gestures.
社交机器人正被成功地用作教育技术,扮演导师和治疗助手的角色。在我们的研究中,我们希望探索如何使用社交机器人来指导无人陪伴的未成年移民学习第二语言,并支持他们融入新文化。这些年轻的移民是儿童和青年福利领域最危险的群体之一。在本文中,我们关注第二语言教学的一个特定方面,即与文化相关的手势,这对支持这些儿童的社会融入很重要。由于手势学习依赖于对社交情境的理解,其中互动和重复练习是必不可少的,社交类人机器人似乎是一个足够的互动手段,因为它们既可以提供手势执行的例子,也可以解释手势应该使用的意义和上下文。此外,就像在其他辅助领域一样,社交机器人可以用来吸引孩子的注意力,并支持社交操作员与这些孩子建立联系,这些孩子在经历了艰难的旅程后,往往不信任成年人。初步研究的结果表明,该方法在学习手势方面是有效的。
