“…Los robots son ampliamente utilizados en la educación en diversos niveles educativos (Cruz-Martín et al, 2012;Huang & Huang, 2011;Yu, 2012;Lofaro, Giang, & Oh, 2009;Shih, Chang, Chen, Chen, & Liang, 2012) y con diferentes objetivos pedagógicos. La utilización de robots NXT puede presentarse en áreas de ciencias, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas debido a la versatilidad que proporciona la característica de modularidad, que posibilita modificar físicamente el armado del robot mediante piezas ensamblables y la definición de su comportamiento en base a algoritmos especificados mediante programación visual o basada en texto.…”

ResumenLa robótica es considerada como una de las áreas de gran interés de la ciencia y la tecnología de hoy en día. La robotización, es decir, los sistemas automatizados, se encuentran en casi todos los sectores de la sociedad. En la industria, los robots son utilizados para soldar, transportar, montar y pintar piezas. En medicina, robots sofisticados ayudan a llevar a cabo cirugías complejas. En el sector militar, los robots son usados para explorar áreas hostiles. Por tal motivo, la robótica móvil y los sistemas autónomos son tópicos de creciente interés en los programas educativos de Ingeniería y Ciencias Computacionales. Por lo anterior, en este trabajo se presenta una revisión de las principales características de los robots educativos LEGO Mindstorms, examinando los entornos de desarrollo disponibles para la compilación de programas de software que permitan definir el comportamiento del robot. Además, un análisis de casos de éxito en la utilización de los robots NXT en programas educativos universitarios, así como su uso en prototipos en trabajos de investigación. AbstractNowadays, robotics is considered one of the main areas of interest in science and technology. In almost all sectors of the society we encounter the robotization, i.e., automated systems. In industry, robots are used for welding, transporting, assembling and painting pieces. In medicine, sophisticated robots help to conduct complex surgeries. In the military sector, robots are used to explore hostile areas. Therefore, mobile robotics and autonomous systems are topics of growing interest in Computer Science and Engineering careers. Therefore, in this paper we present a review of the main characteristics of the LEGO Mindstorms robots, examining the development environments available for compiling software programs that help to define the robot behavior. In addition, an analysis is carried out of success cases using NXT robots in university courses, as well as its use in research prototypes.

The objective of this exploratory study was to implement peer assessment for pedagogical design in integrated STEAM education and to compare expert and peer feedback, in this regard. We engaged pre-service teachers registered in an undergraduate programme for primary education in a formative/reciprocal peer assessment arrangement, where they had the chance to act as both peer assessors and peer assessees. Although global measures of validity (correlations between total scores of expert and peer assessors) and reliability (correlations between total scores of different peer assessors for the same pedagogical scenario) were satisfactory, there were assessment criteria for which peer assessment failed to be valid and/or reliable and which should deserve more attention in future training sessions. We found peer over-scoring across all assessment criteria. There were also indications of participant preference of expert feedback over peer feedback, where the later included fewer justifications of quantitative scores and suggestions for change.
