Abstract

Scenarios concerning the new educational technology is gradually gaining a prominent educational robotics. This term designates a variety 'of learning experiences, based on the principles of constructivism and theoretical methodology embodied cognition, and based on the use of Robotic Construction Kits as learning tools.
