The role of robotics in the development of SEN students

Abstract

Educational robotics is one of the most relevant topics of ICT research. It is also used in activities with a variety of students with special educational needs. In this paper our goal was to highlight the relation of problem-solving, competency development and using ICT-tools (eg. different types of floor-robots). We give an overview based on literature about the implementation of floor robots into classroom lessons and as well as about the challenges of their usage. In the study we also present several methodological and robotics tools that can be used in working with children with SEN. The detailed information about floor-robots help teachers to choose an adequate tool for their aims.
