Training projects on robotics as a way of organization of practical activities and interpersonal interaction of schoolchildren in the pandemic period

Abstract

The article discusses an approach to teaching robotics in high school in the context of distance learning. It is proposed to organize work within the framework of an educational project under the conditions of dividing schoolchildren into teams, building a tree of project goals, determining a specific result at each stage, constant interaction of participants using virtual tools to regulate the workflow, using a service for simulating electronic devices in real time. The indicated conditions were formulated on the basis of the experience of organizing the project activities of tenth graders in the framework of teaching the elective course "Robotics" at the Lyceum 39, Nizhny Tagil. It is concluded that the joint work of schoolchildren on an educational project is a solution to compensate for the lack of interpersonal communication, gaining practical experience in a situation of forced self-isolation.
