| description | The present study aims to verify if modern technologies, and in particular educational robotics, can provide an answer to literature in primary school pupils. Moving from the need for motivating and challenging learning tasks, educational robotics has been identified as a tool that can develop a personal encounter with literary texts. The study involves pupils in a third grade of primary school and is organized into three phases: the pre-intervention, the intervention and the post-intervention phases. The pre and post intervention phases consist of the delivery of the questionnaire adaptation based on the response to literature by Miall & Kuiken (1995). The intervention phase involves the development of educational robotics laboratory where reading of an adaptation of the poem Orlando Furioso and the use of a robot for children, Blue - Bot are integrated. Data analysis confirms that robot fosters the identification of children with the story; results achieved also underline the importance of the teacher both in the design of the laboratory, in robotics, and in the choice of literature.
Insegnare la letteratura attraverso la robotica educativa: un’esperienza nella scuola primaria
La presente ricerca ha l’obiettivo di verificare se le moderne tecnologie, ed in particolare la robotica educativa, possano favorire la risposta alla letteratura. Partendo dalla necessità di compiti di apprendimento motivanti e sfidanti, si è individuata la robotica educativa come strumento che può favorire un incontro personale con il testo letterario. Lo studio coinvolge gli alunni di una classe terza di scuola primaria e si articola in tre fasi: la fase di pre-intervento, la fase di intervento e la fase di post-intervento. Le fasi di pre e post-intervento vedono la somministrazione di un adattamento del questionario sulla risposta alla letteratura di Miall e Kuiken (1995). La fase di intervento prevede lo svolgimento di un laboratorio di letteratura e robotica educativa in cui si integrano la lettura di un adattamento del poema Orlando Furioso e l’utilizzo di Blue-Bot, un robot per bambini. L’analisi dei dati conferma che il robot favorisce l’immedesimazione dei bambini nella storia; i risultati conseguiti sottolineano inoltre l’importanza del ruolo dell’insegnante sia nella progettazione del laboratorio di robotica, sia nella scelta del testo letterario. |
