Educational robotics for playful problem-based learning: Using culturalhistorical activity theory as a research lens

The focus of this book is original research regarding the implementation problem-based learning and pedagogies play as active approaches to foster self-directed learning. With Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in mind, educational institutions need rethink teaching for future. As such, engagement can be encouraged, evident book, where drives through real-world problems, while pedagogy focuses on innovative environments action are integrated with aim developing SDL. following addressed chapters: an overview play, metaliteracy, playful tasks, computational thinking game-based tasks geometry, solving puzzles, applying LEGO®, using drama implementing robotics. empirical findings disseminated inspire academics area school tertiary classroom that hold affordances enhance 21st-century skills. Active umbrella term mainstream student engagement, such learning, cooperative gamification, role-play drama. This scholarly highlights various engaging pedagogies.
