Nowadays, it is mandatory to complement the traditional learning methods with active ones that enhance the student's motivation and facilitate the development of technical and soft competences. LEGO®Serious Play is an experiential methodology designed to enhance innovation and performance in the business world and it is fully aligned with these needs. Previous researches show that this methodology has great potential in engineering education, and specifically in software engineering education. This paper presents an original LEGO®Serious Play activity to teach in a playful and active way software engineering concepts such as life cycle models and software development activities, which can be extrapolated to other engineering fields. This activity was validated through a case study involving 242 computer science students and it was supported by quantitative and qualitative data gathered from a survey and a post-test. The results indicate that the students found this activity highly fun and motivating as well as very useful to learn about the addressed topics and develop soft skills.

“…O principal motivo da enorme popularidade do kit é a sua facilidade de compreensão e sua curva de aprendizagem rápida que está relacionada com a programação em blocos que se encaixam similar a ideia do hardware do kit. O dispositivo permite com que iniciantes na área da robótica aprendam sobre design e desenvolvimento de forma eficaz [18]. O grande diferencial deste kit para os demais apresentados no mercado é a junção dos blocos de montar bastante conhecidos com a possibilidade de montar quase o que a imaginação do usuário permitir com atuadores, sensores e um microcontrolador programável que possibilita o desenvolvimento de vários robôs em um só kit.…”

A utilização da tecnologia tem proporcionado a alunos e professores uma nova forma de ensinar e aprender, diversificando aulas e tornando-as mais atraentes, por meio dos recursos que oferece. Neste contexto, esse trabalho apresenta o planejamento da inserção da robótica educacional no ensino de ciências. Objetiva-se que os alunos compreendam o processo digestório dos alimentos em nosso corpo, simulando as etapas da digestão no corpo humano utilizando hardware e software. Espera-se desta forma estimular o raciocínio lógico por meio da robótica educacional, promovendo uma aprendizagem interativa e construtivista, que promova sua autonomia, além do domínio e a comunicação do conhecimento adquirido. Palavras-chaveRobótica educacional, Ensino de Ciências, Sistema Digestório Educational Robotics applied to the simulation of the Digestive System AbstractTechnology is providing to students and educators a new form to teach and to learn, through more attractive lessons by means of the resources that it offers. In this context, this work discusses the *insertion of the educational robotics in the Sciences education. Main objective concerns the learning of digestive system, in a way that helps to understand how it works and process foods in our body, simulating the stages of the digestion in the human body using hardware and software. We intend to stimulate the logical reasoning by means of the educational robotics, promoting an interactive and constructivist learning process, promoting students autonomy, beyond the communication of the acquired knowledge. KeywordsEducational robotics, Science education, Digestive System I. INTRODUÇÃO Atualmente a tecnologia está presente em todas as profissões e a necessidade de pessoas qualificadas tanto para operar quanto para criar e otimizar essas novas tecnologias é cada vez maior. A grande demanda por profissionais nas áreas de Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática (STEM) e a pouca procura por cursos nestas áreas tem levado países a incentivar de forma prioritária o ingresso de graduandos nesses campos de atuação. Uma forma de apresentar tais áreas do conhecimento aos estudantes é por meio da inserção das tecnologias na escola [1].A tecnologia está presente em nosso cotidiano e seria impossível realizar diversas tarefas básicas sem alguma interação com o mundo tecnológico. De fato, a tecnologia tem uma grande influência na sociedade do conhecimento e um papel de grande importância em diferentes contextos e finalidades, por consequência é desejável que esta interação seja bastante abordada nas salas de aula de forma a torná-la uma aliada do aprendizado [2] Diversos autores abordam que a sociedade como um todo busca uma escola que seja moderna e dê respostas equivalentes às habilidades exigidas atualmente no que diz respeito à formação de seus estudantes [1,2]. Uma preocupação crescente é que os estudantes consigam estar em fase com as novas ferramentas que estão a nossa disposição, sem que o seu uso seja interrompido no momento do ensino em sala de aula. É importante que os ...

Abstract. Computing Essentials is a foundational course that introduces the hardware, software and their operations across the board for the students in computer and related specialties. We introduce some new items such as LEGO mindstorms and App inventor to replace the MS office operation in experimental education. The results on nearly 400 freshmen show that the students pay more attention to this course, and the course reform receives positive evaluations.
