Desafios para a implementação da robótica educacional como método de ensino e possíveis soluções

Abstract

Educational robotics (ER) has become established as a teaching methodology capable of stimulating active learning, creativity, and logical judgment, based on theories such as Seymour Papert's constructionism. However, its effective integration into the school environment has faced several technical and pedagogical obstacles. The objective of this research was to analyze the main challenges for the implementation of educational robotics in the classroom and to identify strategies proposed in the literature to overcome them. Methodologically, a qualitative and exploratory bibliographic research was carried out, consulting databases such as Google Scholar, SciELO, CAPES Journals, and the SBC library. Twenty articles published in the last ten years were selected and analyzed. The results reveal that the main challenges are the lack of teacher training, the lack of infrastructure and equipment, and the insufficient time for planning activities. As possible solutions, the literature points to the need for investments in continuing education, the use of sustainable robotics (recyclable materials) as a low-cost alternative, and ensuring better working conditions so that teachers can plan their advanced lessons. It is concluded that robotics has high pedagogical potential, but its full implementation depends on external public policies for school infrastructure and professional development.
