Robot Usage in Programmıng Teachıng - Mbot Example

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the usability in programming education of mBot - STEM Educational Robot Kit platform developed and produced by Makeblock. mBot is a versatile robotic platform which is cheap, easy to install and user-friendly. The mBlock programming language, which provides graphical programming support for robot programming is used. Also, mBot provides all the necessary solutions for Robotics learning and designing. Although it is composed of 38 parts, anyone can assemble it in 10-15 minutes. Therefore, it can be used in teaching of programming for students. It is possible to use it for elementary school students because of easy usage of their programming and hardware. In addition it has been thought that teaching programming with robots provide of learning abstract concepts for students. Also it contributes to development of their problem solving and computational thinking skills. The new regulation on teaching programming in Turkey was realized with Ministry of Education’s decision, dated 31.08.2016 which include teaching programming on secondary education curriculum. So that this study is thought to give an idea how to use effective and easy of block based environments. mBlock software and mBotRobot kit used to develop and test sample applications including basic programming concepts in this study. According to development and testing process, basic programming concepts such as loops, conditions structure, functions, procedures, variables, lists and sequences can be easily created and tested with mBlock software and mBot-Robot Kit.
