The application of robotics in early and preschool education

Tema ovog diplomskog rada je primjena robotike u ranom i predškolskom odgoju i obrazovanju. Nacionalni kurikulum za odgoj i obrazovanje ističe važnost pružanja jednako kvalitetnog odgoja i obrazovanja za sve. Prema Kurikulumu (MZO, 2014.), na nacionalnoj razini se prepoznaje potreba i želja za unaprjeđenjem i osuvremenjivanjem rada u ustanovama ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja. U ovome radu je obrađena tematika povijesti nastanka i razvoja robota i robotike. Ističe se utjecaj robotike i inteligentnih strojeva kao bitnih čimbenika u razvoju znanosti i novih tehnologija, a jednako tako i bitnih čimbenika u svakodnevnom životu čovjeka i njegovom okruženju. Posebna pozornost se stavlja na djecu predškolske dobi i o njihovoj okruženosti tehnologijom. U radu s djecom teži se primjeni novih metoda rada te je uporaba robota kao pomagača u radu jedan od njih Prikazani su roboti koje je moguće primijeniti u svakodnevnom radu s djecom u predškolskim ustanovama ali i kod kuće.The theme of this graduate thesis is the application of robotics in early and preschool education. The National Curriculum for Education emphasizes the importance of providing quality education for all children. By accepting the Curriculum, the need and desire to improve and modernize work in early and preschool education institutions, is recognized (MZO, 2014). This graduate thesis deals with the history of the origin and development of robots and robotics. The influence of robotics and intelligent machines is emphasized as important factors in the development of science and new technologies, as well as important factors in the daily life of man and his environment. Special attention is paid to preschool children and their environment with technology. In working with children, we strive to apply new methods of work and the use of robots as helpers in work is one of them. Robots are shown that can be used in everyday work with children in preschool institutions but also at home
