Using Robotics to Enhance Active Learning in Mathematics: A Multi-Scenario Study

The use of technology, which is linked to active learning strategies, can contribute to better outcomes in Mathematics education. We analyse the conditions that are necessary for achieving an e ective learning of Mathematics, aided by a robotic platform. Within this framework, the question raised was “What are the conditions that promote e ective active math learning with robotic support?” Interventions at di erent educational scenarios were carried in order to explore three educational levels: elementary, secondary, and high school. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed, comparing the control and treatment groups for all scenarios through examinations, direct observations, and testimonials. The findings point to three key conditions: level, motivation, and teacher training. The obtained results show a very favourable impact on the attention and motivation of the students, and they allow for establishing the conditions that need to be met for an efective relationship between the teacher and the technological tool, so that better learning outcomes in Mathematics are more likely to be obtained.
