Significance of actively participating in middle school robot competition

The whole society pays attention to robot competition , There is a phenomenon that the competition result is higher than everything , Up to school leaders , Down to the tutor , All regard achievements as the top priority , The purchase of robots is entirely for the needs of the game . Even many schools in order to get good grades , Hire robot technicians at a high salary 、 Manufacturers and service providers design competition plans for students , Debug robot equipment , Students have become a tool for competition , The guiding role of teachers has also lost its significance .

The competition rules in robot competition need to be further improved. In domestic robot competition , There are often some competitors in order to get good results , Game transmission to other players 、 The receiving equipment interferes , In order to get good grades . This kind of unhealthy competition directly affects the normal progress of robot competition , And the significance of holding various competitions .
Too much attention to robot competition , Ignore robot teaching . The whole society has paid unprecedented attention to robot competition , Many schools carry out robot education to participate in robot competitions , Taking part in robot competition is regarded as robot education . Teachers' 、 Leaders put too much energy into the project of robot competition , Even many school leaders hold “ The robot competition has made achievements , Our robot education is carried out well ” Such a concept , That is, too much attention is paid to robot competition , Ignore robot teaching . Some school leaders found that the investment in robot competition was effective , If you win the competition, even if you have made achievements in robot education , So put all your energy into the robot competition .
Because robot teaching is in its infancy , In the actual teaching link, there is a lack of necessary teaching cases 、 Teaching courseware . Robot teaching lacks teaching reference , Many schools can only design their own teaching , Compiling teaching materials , This leads to the unnecessary guarantee and guidance of robot teaching . At present, robot teaching urgently needs third-party educational institutions or robot companies to develop relevant robot teaching courses , Collection of robot teaching practice cases , Call for the emergence of third-party education service providers . at present , Middle school teachers 、 Although school leaders and students' parents realize that robot education is conducive to the cultivation of students' innovative ability , however “ College entrance examination is the lifeline of Education ” Their ideas are still deeply rooted in their minds . In their view , Robot teaching is just a kind of after-school entertainment for students , If this activity takes up students' learning time , They will resolutely resist . This also indirectly leads to students' inability to fully participate in this new type of teaching , Students don't realize the importance of robot education . It is impossible for students to have too much interest in it , Interested students can't participate in it .
Necessity and feasibility analysis of robot teaching activities .21 Century today , The problem facing education is how to cultivate high-quality talents , Only a new teaching mode can enable students to develop in an all-round way , Become a high-tech talent with innovative spirit . Robot teaching involves computers 、 Computer language 、 Mechanical structure 、 Mechanical transmission 、 Engineering 、 Automation design 、 Sensing technology and other disciplines and technical fields , Focus on innovative practical activities , It aims to cultivate students' scientific and technological literacy and innovative ability . You can say that , Integration of robots into general technology teaching , Can better implement 《 Guiding outline of general technology curriculum in middle school ( On a trial basis )》 The requirements of .

Development of robot teaching system . Before the teacher carries on the classroom teaching , To design 、 Test robot teaching system development platform , To ensure the normal operation of robot classroom teaching products . The development platform of robot teaching system generally includes computer ( Smart devices ) 、 Computer software development system and robot body action system .

Robot classroom teaching robot classroom teaching links generally need to carry out curriculum design according to the teaching theme , The idea of topic selection is generally open , Innovative , It's best to come from applications in life or simulate biological movement . Teaching should be task driven , It can be properly combined with the theme of robot competition , The company's supporting courses and available teaching courseware for robot products can be purchased .

Robot teaching is a task-based teaching activity in which teachers and students cooperate closely , The following principles should be embodied in teaching activities :

Students are the main body , Attach importance to students' Participation 、 To explore the 、 It is found that every student should be involved in robot programming 、 The process of debugging and modeling , Cultivate students' innovative spirit 、 Practical ability and research-based learning ability . Teachers as mentors 、 Helpers . Teachers in teaching through simple to complex inquiry tasks , Adopt the way of cooperative learning , Train students to think independently 、 Ability to analyze problems and practice , Cultivate students' sense of teamwork .

Robot teaching activities should “ Teaching and learning ” Truly become a classroom for students' creative learning , Make students interested , This is also the most important feature different from traditional teaching . The school carries out robot teaching activities , First of all, we should select teaching robot products , Purchase of teaching equipment , Equip the robot classroom . Determining the product of teaching robot is the most key , We should choose manufacturers with excellent educational ideas , The purchase of equipment should equip the robot laboratory according to the specific situation of the school and the actual requirements of teaching ( Classroom ) , Never buy blindly . secondly , To determine the teaching philosophy , Choose teaching materials with corresponding ideas . Robot teaching is mainly a student-centered teaching activity , Teachers participate in the teaching system as mentors and senior learning partners .

in summary , The in-depth development of robot education in middle school , Need school 、 Joint cooperation and efforts of robot manufacturers . Explore the theoretical and practical problems of robot education , It is also an unshirkable mission of our scholars in the field of Educational Technology . Robot education requires students to learn to think creatively in the construction and programming of robots , Cultivate students' practical ability . That's the only way , Robot education can cultivate 21 New talents with innovative ability in the 21st century , Welcome the coming “ The age of intelligence ”.
