Educational Robotics for Inclusive Education [PDF]

open access: yesTechnology, Knowledge and Learning, 2018
It has been quite a long time since S. Papert introduced the idea that children should be involved in the use of computers in the learning process to support the development of computational thinking. Nowadays, educational robotics is introduced in different dimensions of education, but mostly it is used as part of a compulsory educational process in ...
