robotique, STIM, compétences du XXIe siècle, enseignement primaireRésumé
Dans le but d’améliorer la façon dont les éducateurs utilisent la robotique pour soutenir le développement des compétences du XXIe siècle et des STIM, nous rapportons ici les résultats de groupes de discussion et d’entretiens individuels avec 133 enseignants et 46 élèves du primaire, de 19 observations de vidéos enregistrées en classe et d’un sondage auprès des enseignants effectué en Ontario, au Canada. Nous constatons que les enseignants utilisent la robotique de diverses manières pour soutenir le développement des compétences cognitives, interpersonnelles et intrapersonnelles. Malgré les avantages potentiels, nos participants ont identifié plusieurs facteurs qui limitent l’adoption de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage de la robotique à plus grande échelle. Notamment, l’intégration insuffisante dans les curriculums et les évaluations, une pénurie de ressources, et un manque de développement et de soutien professionnel. Nous suggérons des directives politiques pratiques pour soutenir l’intégration plus efficace de la robotique, et considérons la manière dont ces recommandations pourraient éclairer l’enseignement et l’apprentissage dans une salle de classe (post) Covid-19.
