Ting-Sheng Weng · 2020
The Ministry of Education in Taiwan attaches great importance to robotic and program education. However, when it is popularized to disadvantaged children, robot education will face many challenges involving teachers, equipment, venues, activity funds, and teaching experience. In this study, 27 children from Orphanage A in Yunlin County were taken as the target objects. The research results of developing graphic control programs are introduced into Jimu robot education to promote science popularization activities in the orphanage, in order to provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and adolescents in the orphanage to experience basic program design, learn to operate robots, and contact with alternative scientific stimulation. It can reduce the gap in the information education of students, promote equality in learning opportunities, and improve the quality of information science in orphanages.
