Lego® Serious PlayTM: Thinking about Teaching and Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
LEGO® Serious PlayTM (LSP) is a methodology which has been developed primarily for use in business contexts, initially with Real-Time Identity for You, Real-Time Strategy for the Team and Real-Time Strategy for the Enterprise. However, many of the principles which underpin the methodology are supported within the educational research literature. The findings discussed here represent some of the efforts in reclaiming LSP for the educational domain. The current study introduces LSP as a method of getting at participants’ understanding of their own professional identities. It details the process of the development of workshops and reflects on the aspects of ‘What Works’ within and across a small number of educational contexts. Results from two distinct groups are discussed, pre-service Teachers and Employees in a Small / Medium Enterprise (SME).

متن کاملPupils Identify Key Aspects and Outcomes of a Technological Learning Environment
Over the past two decades, the contribution that a rich learning environment makes toward attaining educational goals such as improvement in learning achievements and attitudes towards studies and school has been considered in educational research (Fraser, Giddings, & McRobbie, 1995; Fraser & Tobin, 1991; Perkins, 1992). The term rich learning environment not only includes physical devices, suc...
متن کاملLego Mindstorms Robots as a Platform for Teaching Reinforcement Learning
This paper examines the suitability of Lego Mindstorms robotic kits as a platform for teaching the concepts of reinforcement learning. The reinforcement learning algorithm Sarsa was implemented on board an autonomous Mindstorms robot, and applied to two learning tasks. The reasons behind the differing results obtained on these two tasks are discussed, and several issues related to the suitab...
متن کاملMobile Robots in Teaching Programming for IT Engineers and its Effects
in this paper the new methods and devices introduced into the learning process of programming for IT engineers at our college is described. Based on our previous research results we supposed that project methods and some new devices can reduce programming problems during the first term. These problems are rooted in the difficulties of abstract thinking and they can cause the decrease of program...
