Framework for educational robotics: a multiphase approach to enhance user learning in a competitive arena

Educational robotics involves using robots as an educational tool to provide a long term, and progressive learning activity, to cater to different age group. The current concern is that, using robots in education should not be an instance of a one-off project for the sole purpose of participating in a competitive event. Instead, it should be a sustainable long-term progression spanning the primary school to pre-university level. This article presents a framework for robotics using a multiphase approach to enhance user learning in a competitive arena.
