Robotics as a basis for Informatization of education in a children's health camp

Abstract

At present, informatization of education is gradually gaining increased applicability in the process of education development. Due to the accelerated rate of science and technologies development, versatile specialists implementing new types of technologies, flexible to tendencies and up-to-date information, who come to their own conclusions and qualified to absorb new skills are appeared to be in-demand in modern society.  Educational robotics is a developing field of national domestic education which provides a solid foundation for systems thinking, integration of computer science, mathematics, and natural sciences into engineering creativity. Informatization of education gained through the fulfillment of intellectual and creative children’ potential revealed by means of robotics and resulted in motivation, individualization, social engagement. The present issue is considered from the point of view of extracurricular activities established with due regard to theoretical and methodological background of information technologies accomplishment in the global educational field and experimentally determined advantages of robotics development in children’ health care and recreation system. The present survey embodies observation, practical results, analysis aimed at the development of creative activity, inventive skills. It allows us empirically prove the effectiveness of the implementation of robotics classes in the form of hobby clubs in children’ health care and recreation system. The data obtained reflect receptive audience of youngsters being interested in robotics-related classes which has become an integral part of children’ health care and recreation system. The children were excited while visiting the robotics-related classes throughout the children's recreation camp shift. During classes they tried their best in learning and put their knowledge into practice, as a consequence, different, types of robots have been developed. Robotics-related classes as an integral part of children’ health care and recreation system facilitate inventive and creative skills development.
