Description
Summary:This paper presents the design, implementation and validation of a didactic proposal using educational robotics seen as interdisciplinary, in order to strengthen the learning processes that are worked from the area of technology and informatics in the secondary education of the public schools of the city of Bogotá. To achieve the objectives proposed in this research, the epistemological perspective of the mixed paradigm is taken as a basis, using a design in this line with a dominant qualitative preponderance. As a whole, this research contributes to the design of a didactic proposal for the teaching of robotics, integrating multiple knowledge, for this an interdisciplinary commitment is made, since so far this technology has been treated in a disciplinary way. This has prevented us from showing the great potential of robotics to integrate knowledge, which also motivates students to build contextualized, playful and fun learning. There is a conceptual void in which there is no evidence of a concrete didactics for the teaching of educational robotics, because it is worked from methodologies that come from other areas of knowledge such as Design Thinking, designed for industrial engineering, problem-based learning, created for medicine and STEM, which was designed for Natural Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. As a result, the design, construction, and validation of a particular didactic proposal for educational robotics was achieved, which will contribute to the teaching processes in secondary education.
