Teaching Law Subjects by Using Educational Robots: Does the Use of Robots Lead to the Development of Legal Skills Among Law Staudents?

Abstract

The article analyses the mechanism of teaching law subjects using educational robots by showing the role that robots play in developing legal skills among law students and faculty members in universities. Educational robots enhance and develop higher-order thinking skills among law students, such as creative and critical thinking and the skill of solving legal problems, through managing and organizing time and identifying legal and judicial sources. Today, educational robots are increasingly being used to develop legal skills in classrooms as a means of teaching legal science concepts. The use of virtual and augmented reality in educational robots in legal fields is also widely accepted, allowing law students to interact with robotic systems within a simulated environment among law students. The study reached several results and recommendations, the most important of which is that educational robots. In particular, robots teaching law subjects are one of the most important technical developments in the field of e-learning, which are widely spread in the educational community because of the possibilities they provide in obtaining legal information with infinite high accuracy. The study also recommended the need to allow the introduction of educational robots officially by official authorities in the classrooms to teach law subjects and to consider them an integral part of the educational process in law faculties in public and private universities.
