PEREZ ACOSTA, Gisselle Ximena  and  MENDOZA-MORENO, Miguel Ángel. Robótica educativa: propuesta curricular para Colombia. Educ. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.4, pp.577-595.  Epub Mar 19, 2021. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2020.23.4.2.

This paper presents a proposal for incorporating educational robotics into primary and secondary education to support the Ministry of National Education’s general guidelines for technology education in Colombia from various national and international approaches. The research is carried out with a mixed-method and divided into the documentary, descriptive, analytical, and projective phases. The paper contains three sections: a conceptual review of educational robotics; its importance, based on scientific literature and applied programs internationally and nationally; and finally, the treatment of robotics from different knowledge approaches, perspectives, and dimensions. We noted a growing tendency to introduce robotics education in private and public schools, focused on the “use of free time.” Therefore, we propose designing a spiral curricular model with four complexity levels relevant to the principles of meaningful and inclusive learning, per the current needs for and cutting-edge knowledge of science and technology education.

Keywords : Educational robotics; educational technology; curriculum design; educational innovations; Colombia.
