Interconnect algomotricity and programming for enabling education.
A laboratory with Coderbot in the field of popular schools.
Zecca, L., Cotza, V.
The research moves from a post-digital perspective that looks at technology as part of the learning process, beyond a dichotomous logic, and presents a process idiographic study on an Educational Robotics workshop (with Coderbot) that the Bicocca University conducted in the Scuola Popolare “Antonia Vita” in Monza. The 7 sessions (February-April 2021) involved adolescents with a multiproblematic profile and were designed according to an integrated model, combining Universal Design for Learning with Educational Robotic Applications. An initial analysis of data shows how important the use of algomotricity was for the students, especially during programming: the research therefore intends to investigate the relationship between coding unplugged and programming, focusing in particular on the methods used to simulate the body and the communicative functions implemented
