RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 HYKSOVÁ, Hana T1 DEVELOPING CONSTRUCTION SKILLS - A NECESSARY PART OF ROBOTICS JF Trends in education YR 2020 VO 13 IS 1 SP 43 OP 52 DO 10.5507/tvv.2020.006 UL https://tvv-journal.upol.cz/en/artkey/tvv-202001-0007.php AB Historically, everyone had thought that robotics is programming that belongs in computer science lessons. This is no longer the case. More important than the knowledge of programming language is the development of computer and logical thinking and other competences. Teaching robotics today is actually part of polytechnic education. In elementary schools, various robotic toys and programmable kits are used in teaching. Robotic toys are constructively designed and are programmable. We have to assemble robots first from robotic kits and we need construction skills to do this. We will show you where to develop these design skills and which kits we use for this.
