Methodical support for teachers of robotics in the Czech educational system

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this work is to describe the possibilities and extent of the methodical support of teachers of robotics and robotic programming in the Czech primary education system and to find and describe the deficiencies as well as possible ways to improve the educational support of teachers in this field. To map the current situation in the robotics education in the Czech Republic, we implemented a questionnaire survey by means of a structural online questionnaire which took place in November and December 2016 and was aimed to teachers of primary schools and appropriate school years of multi-year grammar schools. 3911 schools were asked to fill in the questionnaire. We received 360 responses. Afterwards we mapped the available methodical materials primarily focused on robotic kits LEGO in Czech and foreign market with the aim to describe the possibilities of teacher support in the robotics education. The result of the survey of available materials in the market was the finding that there are a lot of Czech and foreign materials which use various approaches in the education. It is evident that teachers do not use foreign materials very much and that they rely mainly on the materials being included in the kit or on freely accessible materials provided on specialized webpages and blogs. As for the foreign materials, teachers miss mostly the translation into Czech language and its usage in the Czech education system. The results of this study could help to map the extent of methodical support of teachers in the specific field of robotics education as well as teachers´ requirements and needs which could help with the future improvement. Strategy of Digital Education until Year 2020 should also contribute. In the strategy, there is also included the methodical support of teachers to integrate new technologies in education.
