| dc.description.abstract | In recent years, the Department of Basic Education has actively explored incorporating robotics and coding into the national curriculum. In parallel to this process, with the hope of enhancing our collective understanding of integrating robotics and coding into teaching and learning practices, the NECT Edhub has collaborated with the University of Johannesburg in conducting 4 robotics and coding pilots in public school classrooms and with the pre-service teachers. Through these studies, it was possible to explore how robotics and coding may help build competencies for a changing world in learners, such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication. The exploration extended into preparing pre-service teacher with skills to integrate robotics and coding, as a tool, into their practice. This compendium is a collection of short articles sharing the emerging learnings from these pilots. This summary offers ten key insights derived from the four case studies presented in this compendium focusing the on areas of teaching and learning robotics and coding in the classroom and the need for teacher development. | |
