NAO Robot in School Education: Insights from the European Survey and Design of Teacher Training
摘要
This paper presents findings from a European survey of 849 teachers in Portugal, Poland, Croatia, and Germany, conducted within the ‘‘MyRobot MyLearnMate’’ project. The survey explored teachers’ experiences with robots in education, identifying obstacles, motivations, and training needs. Insights from the survey were used to design a teacher training program, following the Design Thinking methodology. We describe the blueprint of the training program with its key modules. The program focuses on the use of the NAO robot as a teaching assistant in schools and will provide teachers with knowledge and good practice examples on how robots such as NAO can be used to innovate teaching and foster inclusive, engaging learning including a wide range of subjects such as mathematics, languages, and computer science.
