Eureka! Institutional Repository

There has been an increasing interest in research on how robotics and programming are taught in schools, especially in Primary education. The aim of the present dissertation is to research the characteristics and perceptions of teachers who incorporate robotics in their classroom and participate in annual robotics team competitions. A standardized questionnaire was formulated and distributed digitally. Despite the fact that the teaching hours for IT, as they are determined by the curriculum for Greek Primary schools, are insufficient and school resources for the subject are rather limited, IT teachers appear to be quite content, on the grounds that they have managed to actively engage their students in devotedly carrying out any construction or programming project assigned to them.
