Aporte de la robótica educativa en los conocimientos de matemáticas en la educación primaria

This study analysed the contribution of educational robotics to the development of mathematics knowledge in primary education students through a mixed methodological approach. The research combined a quasi-experimental design with qualitative techniques, allowing the assessment of both changes in academic performance and learning experiences associated with the implementation of robotics-based activities. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ mathematical achievement following the intervention, as well as progress in logical reasoning, conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. In addition, a positive impact on students’ attitudes towards mathematics was identified, reflected in increased interest, participation, and confidence. From a pedagogical perspective, educational robotics fostered active and collaborative teaching methodologies, transforming the teacher’s role and promoting meaningful learning processes. Overall, the findings confirm that educational robotics represents a valuable resource for enhancing mathematics teaching and learning in primary education, provided that its integration is carefully planned and contextually grounded.
