Robotics at Primary and Secondary Education Levels: Technology, Methodology, Curriculum and Science

This paper presents the authors\u2019experience in using robotics at different education levels. They have been involved for more than one year in an on-going project (TERECoP) which deals with the use of Robotics in Education. This has permitted to the authors to investigate different issues of practiacl educational robotics, e.g. like methodology approaches and technological issues, but also to address more fundamental questions like: \u201cWhat is robotics at school?\u201d or \u201cHow we can design good robotics learning experiences?\u201d. Within this context, the authors present in this paper some methodological considerations first, and then describe a pilot course of the use of robotics for teacher\u2019s sciences. Afterwards they discuss on several issues in the use of robotics in education, like curriculum or science and technology dissemination
