| dc.description | Computational thinking in the educational environment has awaken a rising interest, having been included as part of the curricula from the very beginnings of education. Programmable robots have become a valuable positive resource in order to
succeed in the development of computational thinking, demanding proper training
from kindergarten teachers and trainees in order to be able to teach robotic programming. This article has the purpose to 1) identify the frequent errors made by trainee
kindergarten teachers when solving a series of robotic problems in a computational
thinking module, which develops in the course of Didactics of Mathematics and 2)
determine the level of comprehension of the robot concept acquired by the trainees
when solving robotics problems. The research developed in a qualitative methodology manner; the data used for this article were collected through the solving of fve
robotic problems and an open-ended question that had to be answered by each of the
25 participants individually. The results showed that, in general, the most frequent
error appeared in problems in which movements were set in a Euclidean space of
two dimensions. That is to say, the problems’ solving required a selection of diferent commands: turn, moving forward and/or backwards. Moreover, more than half
of the participants who answered the open-ended question succeeded in owning the
robot concept once they had solved the problems. | |
