The aim of the journal is to introduce the latest findings from the field of sciences, computing and technologies including education, information and communication technologies. Further purpose is to enable the authors (teachers, researchers, scientists) to present the results of their own scientific research and professional activities with a special focus on the didactical aspects of education. The journal is designed mainly for teachers who teach subjects in the area of materials and technologies, information communication and other digital technologies at different schools, or use modern digital technologies and ICT in education, also for doctoral, postgraduate, and for talented students.</p> <p>The journal is based on the over 30-years traditions of the DidMatTech International Scientific Conference, which currently functions as a “wandering” event among the V4 states. This is accompanied by more than 10 years of experience at the InfoDidact conference. The authors of the articles consist mainly of participants of these 2 conferences, who are given the opportunity to present their valuable results in their research work.</p> <p>With its <strong>double blind peer-reviewed</strong> format, the journal publishes original research and review articles. The <a href="https://ojs.elte.hu/cejntrep/about/editorialTeam">editorial board</a> deals with the received manuscripts continuously and immediately starts the review process. Our journal <strong>do not charge submission fees, nor publication fees</strong>.</p> https://ojs.elte.hu/cejntrep/article/view/8168 Alternatives to replace LEGO EV3: using the next-generation Mindstorms and Stem:Bit kits in education 2024-04-12T15:58:17+00:00 Dóra Solymos solymos.dora@inf.elte.hu Bence Gaál gaalbence@inf.elte.hu <p>Anyone who has dealt with robotics education has evidently encountered the LEGO Mind-storms EV3 model, which has played a crucial role in this field since 2013. However, the production of these robots has officially ceased, and their support will end in the near future. In our article, in addition to introducing the new generation LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor, we also aim to present a cheaper alternative in the form of Stem:Bit, which we recommend as a replacement for the EV3. A vital aspect of comparing these devices is to examine what functions they provide compared to the EV3, and what advantages and disadvantages each has in robotics education.</p> 2024-09-20T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Dóra Solymos, Bence Gaál
