Abstract

In the last decades the interest about the Educational Robotics as a teaching-learning tool in disciplines related to computer programming. However, there are few studies that evaluate its use on a long term, whether in learning or about students interest in the area of computing. In this article we present the quantitative and qualitative results of the use of robotics as a teaching-learning tool in Programming Logic over the three years in high school student.

Keywords: Educational Robotics, Learning, Programming Logic
