Desarrollo de recursos didácticos para fortalecer el aprendizaje de robótica con enfoque en competencias STEAM

Abstract

This degree project focuses on the development of educational resources aimed at improving robotics learning through a STEAM-based educational approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). The proposal arises from the need to strengthen practical technology education, since many educational environments still rely on traditional teaching methods that limit experimentation and the development of technical skills. In response to this situation, the project promotes the use of accessible tools that allow students to learn by doing, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving abilities in real-world contexts. The project includes the design and implementation of educational robotics modules built with open-source hardware platforms, integrating components such as sensors, actuators, and programmable control systems. The applied methodology combines technical performance analysis of the prototypes with observation of the students’ learning process, considering factors such as motivation, collaborative work, and the development of logical and computational thinking. Through direct interaction with the devices, students not only understand theoretical concepts but also gain practical experience in electronics, programming, and basic mechanics. This proposal is expected to contribute to improving the quality of technological learning by promoting a more dynamic, participatory, and inclusive educational environment. Furthermore, by using low-cost materials, the project seeks to facilitate access to educational robotics and reduce technological barriers in the school context. In this way, the project not only strengthens academic competencies but also fosters life skills, preparing students to thrive in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
