System of Informatics Tasks with Control of Physical Systems – Lego Robot

Abstract

Motivating students to study nowadays became harder, but an important task for the teacher. The most soughtafter way to show motivation is the direct practical use of knowledge most often in school. This can be achieved by carefully selecting examples and learning tasks. Proven motivating impact there is a possibility for training based on the management of physical systems. This paper presents a system of tasks with LEGO robot control, part of the new approach developed by the authors for training in informatics and IT, relying on strong motivation through the development of applications with modern interface in modern environment, solving everyday problems, demonstrations with robot and visualizations of algorithms. The proposed examples and tasks can serve to enrich the pedagogical practice of secondary school teachers.
