Abstract

Computer Science has been introduced as a new subject in the compulsory school curriculum in Switzerland. Research on educational robotics has highlighted potentials of using robots as a hands-on tool to foster computational thinking skills. However, to date these kind of activities are not carried out systematically in schools. To support teachers, a teacher community for educational robotics and computer science education ”Roteco” has been established. Teachers can register for free to a digital platform to find classroom-ready activities, news, articles, and information about training and workshops in their region. Roteco further organizes webinars and events to build the community. Within two years, more than 1,400 teachers have joined the community. In this abstract, we present Roteco, our experiences in establishing the community, platform analytics data as well as a short summary of results from two surveys conducted in 2020 with 87 and in 2021 with 48 teachers. Detailed results can be found in the corresponding journal article [11].

“Roteco”——瑞士教育机器人教师社区

计算机科学作为一门新学科被引入瑞士的义务教育课程。教育机器人的研究强调了使用机器人作为培养计算思维技能的动手工具的潜力。然而，到目前为止，这些活动还没有在学校系统地开展。为了支持教师，一个教育机器人和计算机科学教育的教师社区“Roteco”已经成立。教师可以在一个数字平台上免费注册，以查找他们所在地区的课堂活动、新闻、文章以及有关培训和研讨会的信息。Roteco进一步组织网络研讨会和活动来建立社区。两年内，有1400多名教师加入了这个社区。在这篇摘要中，我们介绍了Roteco，我们在建立社区方面的经验，平台分析数据以及对2020年对87名教师和2021年对48名教师进行的两次调查结果的简短总结。详细结果可参见相应的期刊文章[11]。
