• Resumen

  • Robotics have proved to be a very attractive tool for studentsspecially in STEM areas that involve active exploration. Nevertheless, learning activities with robotics kits are usually isolated from official curriculum and no evaluation about the learning outcomes of students are provided. In this paper, we present IDEE, an integrated learning environment which uses robotics as a learning tool for a physics laboratory. Experiments in IDEE are proposed following a scientific experimental procedure. Students in IDEE have to achieve certain learning goals or skills when solving physics problems. The skills accomplished by a student while using IDEE are stored in students models. To this end, students’ performance data is stored in a database. On the basis of students’ skills, IDEE shows certain hints to help students. This information can be also bee shown to teachers to help them in supporting students’ learning process.
