I. Introduction.

modern life very hard to imagine without using information technologies. The intensive transition to the informatization of society causes an ever deeper introduction of information technologies in various areas of human activity.

Introduction of new state standards general education

involves the development of innovative pedagogical technologies. the most important distinctive feature standards of the new generation is their focus on the results of education, and they are considered on the basis of a system-activity approach. Activity acts as an external condition for the development of cognitive processes in a child. This means that in order for the child to develop, it is necessary to organize his activities. This means that the educational task is to organize the conditions that provoke children's action.

Such a learning strategy is easy to implement in the LEGO educational environment, which combines specially designed LEGO sets for group activities, a carefully designed system of tasks for children and a clearly articulated educational concept.

In Russian educational programs robotics is becoming increasingly important. Students of Russian schools are involved in the design and programming of robotic devices, using LEGO robots, industrial robots, special robots for the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.

II. Relevance. Mankind is in dire need of robots that can put out fires without the help of an operator, move independently on previously unknown, real rough terrain, and perform rescue operations during natural Disasters, accidents nuclear power plants in the fight against terrorism. There was a need for mobile robots designed to meet the everyday needs of people. And now in modern production and industry, specialists with knowledge in this area are in demand. Therefore, educational robotics is becoming increasingly important and relevant at the present time.

III. Problem.

I have a problem in front of me: how to ensure effective learning robotics course and practical use in educational process?

IV. Goals:

    Attracting the attention of gifted children to the sphere high technology and innovation activities;

    Popularization of scientific and technical creativity and robotics;

    Formation of competencies in the field technical production using a robot technical systems;

V. Tasks:

    Creation of a circle on robotics and scientific and technical creativity.

    Development of a methodology for teaching the basics of robotics and scientific and technical creativity.

    Development of an educational and competitive platform.

    Implementation of robotics in the lessons of the educational program.

Of course, in my work programs, I always highlight the educational aspect in teaching the course. When preparing for each lesson, I try to think over educational tasks.

VI. Novelty.

The novelty of the concept is thatThe constructor and the software for it provide an excellent opportunity for a child to learn from their own experience. Such knowledge makes children want to move on the path of discovery and research, and any recognized and appreciated success adds self-confidence. Learning is successful when the child is involved in the process of creating a meaningful and meaningful product that is of interest to him. It is important that in this case the child himself builds his knowledge, and the teacher only advises him.

VII. Theoretical aspects.

Roboticsis an applied science dealing with the development of automated technical systems. It is based on such disciplines as electronics, mechanics, programming.

Robotics is one of the most important areas scientific and technical progress, in which the problems of mechanics and new technologies come into contact with problems artificial intelligence.

LEGO Mindstorms construction sets allow you to organize learning activities in various subjects and conduct integrated and meta-subject classes. With these sets, you can organize highly motivated learning activities in spatial design, modeling and automatic control. And the teachercan create such conditions that the student wants to set up his own experiment.

Great Opportunities give Lego robots for holdingcomputer science lessonson topics related to programming. The Lego programming environment allows you to visually design programs for robots, i.e. allow the child to literally “touch hands” the abstract concepts of computer science. The design of robots remains outside the scope of the computer science lesson: children only program the various behaviors of already assembled robots equipped with the necessary sensors and devices. This allows students to focus on the problems of information processing by programmable executors, which are solved in the informatics course.

VIII. Teaching methods:

In my work, I use explanatory and illustrative, heuristic, problematic, programmed, reproductive, partially search, search teaching methods, as well as the method of problem presentation.

And yet, the main thing in the study of robotics is the method of projects.

Underproject methodunderstand the technology of organizing educational situations in which students set and solve their own tasks, and the technology of supporting the student's independent activity.

The main stages of the development of the Lego project:

    Designation of the theme of the project.

    Purpose and objectives of the presented project.

    Development of a mechanism based on the Lego model NXT.

    Drawing up a program for the operation of the mechanism in the Lego Mindstorms environment.

    Model testing, elimination of defects and malfunctions.

When developing and debugging projects, students share their experience with each other, which has a very effective effect on the development of cognitive, creative skills, as well as student independence. Thus, it can be seen that Lego allows students to make their own decisions, taking into account the surrounding features and the availability of supporting materials. And, importantly, the ability to coordinate one's actions with others, i.e. - work in a team.

IX. Results of the introduction of the robotics course into the educational process .

    Lego allows students to:

    • study together within the same team;

      distribute responsibilities in your team;

      show increased attention to the culture and ethics of communication;

      exercise creativity to solve the problem;

      create models of real objects and processes;

      see the real results of your work.

    Created working programm mug "Lego-construction and the basics of roboticsMindstormsNXT» for the year of study. Developed methodological support classes: abstracts of classes and presentations to them.

    The topics of the course "Informatics and ICT" are defined, on which it is possible to include robotics in studying proccess. Adjusted thematic planning topics. Are being developed teaching materials for their teaching.

    As a result of the training, students were able to show their achievements at the city, regional and all-Russian level. Pugach Nikita became the winner of the city conference "Step into the Future", and Repka Artem became its winner. Team Alpha-X(Chernikova Yaroslava and Pishnenko Nikolay) took 1st place in the city robotics competition in the Kegelring nomination.

As a result of the work, the teamNXT. exereceived a third degree. There are also awards at the All-Russian level: Repka Artem took 2nd place in all-Russian competition scientific and technical creativity " Young technicians– the future of innovative Russia”. The achieved results show that the guys like to engage in designing, programming, and they are ready to continue mastering such a new, modern, demanded area as robotics.

    Summing up the results of the introduction of the course into the educational space of the school, we can say what entailed:

    Improving the quality of education and student interest in the subject;

    Formation of new models learning activities using ICT;

    Formation of information competence;

    1. INTRODUCTION

Robotics- Applied science dealing with the development of automated technical systems. Robotics is based on disciplines such as electronics, mechanics, and programming.

Robotics is one of the most important areas of scientific and technological progress, in which the problems of mechanics and new technologies come into contact with the problems of artificial intelligence. On the present stage In the context of the introduction of the Federal State Educational Standard, there is a need to organize classroom and extracurricular activities aimed at meeting the needs of the child, the requirements of society in those areas that contribute to the implementation of the main tasks of scientific and technological progress. Such modern areas in the school include robotics and robotic design. At present, in many educational institutions Russia and the Tyumen region, an attempt is being made to integrate robotics into the educational process of Lego. Competitions in robotics are held, students participate in various competitions, which are based on the use of new scientific and technical ideas, the exchange of technical information and engineering knowledge.

In modern society, robots are being introduced into everyday life, many processes are being replaced by robots. The areas of application of robots are different: medicine, construction, geodesy, meteorology, etc. A person can no longer imagine many processes in life without robotic devices (mobile robots): a robot for all kinds of children's and adult toys, a robot - a nurse, a robot - a nanny, a robot - a housekeeper, etc.

Specialists with knowledge in the field of engineering robotics are currently quite in demand. Thanks to this, the issue of introducing robotics into the educational process, starting from elementary school and further at each level of education, including universities, is quite relevant. If the child is interested in this area from the very younger age, he can discover a lot of interesting things for himself and, importantly, develop the skills that he will need to get a profession in the future. Therefore, the introduction of robotics in the educational process and extracurricular time is becoming increasingly important and relevant.

The purpose of using Lego construction in the system of additional education is to master the skills of initial technical design, development fine motor skills, the study of the concepts of construction and basic properties (stiffness, strength, stability), the skill of interaction in a group. The children have at their disposal constructors equipped with a microprocessor and sets of sensors. With their help, a student can program a robot - a smart machine to perform certain functions.

The new teaching standards have a distinctive feature - they are focused on the results of education, which are considered on the basis of a system-activity approach. The Lego educational environment helps to implement such a learning strategy.


The main equipment used in teaching robotics to children in schools is LEGO-constructors.

Constructors lego there are various kinds aimed at educating children, taking into account the satisfaction age features and the needs of the child.

Consider constructor classification used in educational institutions.


  1. WeDo- a constructor designed for children from 7 to 11 years old. Allows you to build models of machines and animals, program their actions and behavior.

  2. E- laboratory "Energy, work, power"- for children from 8 years old. Introduces students to various sources of energy, ways to convert and save it.

  3. E- laboratory "Renewable Energy Sources"- for children from 8 years old. Introduces students to the three main renewable energy sources.

  4. "Technology and Physics"- for children from 8 years old. Allows you to study the basic laws of mechanics and the theory of magnetism.

  5. "Pneumatics"- for children from 10 years old. Allows you to design systems that use air flow.

  6. LEGO Mindstorms Entertainment Industry. Pervobot" (RCX) - this is a designer (a set of mating parts and electronic components) for children from 8 years old. Designed to create programmable robotic devices.

  7. LEGO Mindstorms “Automated Devices. Pervobot" (RCX) - for children from 8 years old. Allows you to create programmable robotic devices.

  8. LEGO Mindstorms "Pervorobot" (NXT) - for children from 8 years old. Allows you to create both simple and fairly complex programmable robotic devices.
All school sets based on LEGO ® PervoRobot RCX, NXT are designed for students to work mainly in groups. Therefore, students simultaneously acquire the skills of cooperation and the ability to cope with individual tasks that are part of a common task. In the process of designing, to ensure that the created models work and meet the tasks that are set for them. Students get the opportunity to learn from their own experience, to be creative in solving the problem. Students master tasks of varying difficulty in stages. The basic principle of step-by-step learning, which is key to LEGO®, allows the student to work at their own pace.

PervoRobot NXT sets allow teachers to improve themselves, capture new ideas, engage and retain students' attention, organize learning activities using a variety of objects, and deliver integrated lessons. Additional elements contained in each set of designers allow students to create models of their own invention, design robots that are used in life.

These constructors show students the relationship between different areas of knowledge, solve problems in physics, mathematics, etc. in computer science lessons. Models of the PervoRobot NXT constructor give an idea of ​​the operation of mechanical structures, of force, movement and speed, and help to perform mathematical calculations. These sets help to study sections of computer science: modeling and programming.


    1. METHODOLOGICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE USE OF ROBOTICS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

As part of school lesson and additional education, Lego robotic complexes can be used in the following areas:


  • Demonstration;

  • Frontal laboratory works and experiences;

  • Research project activity.
The effectiveness of teaching the basics of robotics also depends on the organization of classes conducted using the following methods:

  • Explanatory - illustrative - presentation of information different ways(explanation, story, conversation, briefing, demonstration, work with technological maps and etc);

  • Heuristic - method creative activity(creation creative models etc.);

  • Problematic - posing a problem and independent search its decisions by students;

  • Programmed - a set of operations that must be performed during execution practical work(form: computer workshop, project activity);

  • Reproductive - reproduction of knowledge and methods of activity (form: collecting models and designs according to a model, conversation, analogy exercises);

  • Partially - search - solving problematic problems with the help of a teacher;

  • Search - independent problem solving;

  • The method of problem presentation is the formulation of the problem by the teacher, the solution by the teacher himself, the complicity of students in the solution.
The main method used in the study of robotics is the project method. The project method is understood as the technology of organizing educational situations in which the student sets and solves his own tasks, and the technology of accompanying the student's independent activity.

Project based learning is a systematic learning method that involves students in the process of acquiring knowledge and skills through a wide range of research activities based on complex, real-life questions and carefully crafted assignments.

The main stages of the development of the Lego project:


  1. Designation of the theme of the project.

  2. Purpose and objectives of the presented project. Hypothesis.

  3. Development of a mechanism based on the Lego model NXT (RCX).

  4. Drawing up a program for the operation of the mechanism in the Lego Mindstorms environment (RoboLab).

  5. Model testing, elimination of defects and malfunctions.

When developing and debugging projects, students share their experience with each other, which very effectively affects the development of cognitive, creative skills, as well as the independence of schoolchildren. Thus, one can be convinced that Lego, being an additional tool in the study of computer science, allows students to make their own decisions, applicable to this situation, taking into account the surrounding features and the availability of auxiliary materials. And, importantly, the ability to coordinate one's actions with others, i.e. work in a team.

An additional advantage of studying robotics is the creation of a team and, in the future, participation in city, regional, all-Russian and international robotics olympiads, which greatly increases the motivation of students to gain knowledge. The main goal of using robotics is the social order of society: to form a personality capable of independently setting learning goals, design ways to implement them, monitor and evaluate their achievements, work with different sources of information, evaluate them and, on this basis, formulate their own opinion, judgment, assessment. That is, the formation of key competencies of students.

The competence-based approach in general and secondary education objectively corresponds to both social expectations in the field of education and the interests of participants in the educational process. The competence-based approach is an approach that focuses on the results of education, and the result of education is not the amount of information learned, but the ability to act in various problem situations.

The main task of the general education system is to lay the foundations for the information competence of the individual, i.e. help the student to master the methods of collecting and accumulating information, as well as the technology of its comprehension, processing and practical application.

In more detail, the possibilities of including robotics in the study of general subjects are presented in Table 1.

Robotics in education

Merzlikina N.V.

Modern life is very difficult to imagine without the use of information technology. The intensive transition to the informatization of society causes an ever deeper introduction of information technologies in various areas of human activity. In November 2015, a meeting of the commission for the development of the information society in the Federation Council was held. One of the topics discussed at the meeting was the development of educational robotics.

Robotics is becoming increasingly important in Russian educational programs. Students of Russian schools are involved in the design and programming of robotic devices, using LEGO robots, industrial robots, special robots for the Russian Emergencies Ministry.

Robotics is an applied science dealing with the development of automated technical systems. It is based on such disciplines as electronics, mechanics, programming. Robotics is one of the most important areas of scientific and technological progress, in which the problems of mechanics and new technologies come into contact with the problems of artificial intelligence.

Educational Roboticsis a tool that lays a solid foundation for systems thinking, the integration of computer science, mathematics, physics, drawing, technology, natural sciences with the development of engineering creativity.

Technology implementationeducational roboticsin the educational process contributes to the formation of personal, regulatory, communicative and cognitive universal educational activities, which are an important component of the Federal State Educational Standard.

Today, there are different points of view on the issue of educational robotics. Here is how Arkady Semyonovich Yushchenko reveals this question - doctor technical sciences, professor, head of the department of the Moscow State technical university named after N.E. Bauman: “A roboticist is someone who can combine mechanical, power, computer parts (and the work of these specialists) together. But when I come across robotics at school, for me it's just a kind of developing educational equipment, which is used to improve the student's knowledge school curriculum and gain the necessary additional skills.

Vladislav Nikolayevich Khalamov, Director of the Educational and Methodological Center for Educational Robotics: “Robotics is a universal tool for general education. Robotics fits perfectly into additional education, and in extracurricular activities, and in the teaching of subjects of the school curriculum, and in strict accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard. It is suitable for all ages from preschoolers to students. And the use of robotic equipment in the classroom is both learning and technical creativity at the same time, which contributes to the education of active, enthusiastic people who have engineering and design thinking.”

Until the 60s of the last century, robotics was treated exclusively as an invention of science fiction writers, which was undoubtedly facilitated by the fact that the term “robot” itself was coined by Karel Capek and his brother Josef (the term was first used in the play by K. Capek Rossum's Universal Robots, 1921).

The engineering and technical orientation of the use of educational robotics is a brilliant opportunity for a child to demonstrate his knowledge in the field of engineering and technical thought through the rapid (mobile) creation of constructors using simple and complex engineering mechanisms and technical solutions. Currently, various robotic systems are used in education, for example, LEGO Education, FischerTechnik, Mechatronics Control Kit, Festo Didactic and others.

One of important aspects stimulating children to the independent development of creative mental activity and maintaining interest in technical education is their participation in competitions, olympiads, conferences and festivals of a technical orientation. There is a whole system of competitions in robotics at various levels: regional, interregional, all-Russian, international.

Educational Robotics in recent times is developing at the speed of light, is being introduced into all spheres of life, like computers in the 80s of the last century. Today, educational robotics makes it possible at an early stage to identify the technical inclinations of students and develop them in this direction. This understanding of robotics allows us to build a model of continuous learning for all ages - from pupils kindergarten to students. One of important features work with educational robotics should becomecreation of a continuous system- robotics should work for the development of technical creativity, the education of a future engineer, from kindergarten to the moment of obtaining a profession and even entering production.
