Robotics in special needs education

摘要

The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of robotics as an educational tool in special needs education. Qualitative case studies are used to increase knowledge about programmable LEGO NXT and Topobo robotics constructions kits in special needs education, and about the social robot and Topobo that are used in early childhood education when possible learning disabilities have not yet been diagnosed. This study aims to provide suggestions about how robotics might be used to recognize disabilities at an early stage of education and to compensate for them in learning.
