A robótica e o desenvolvimento da inteligência emocional na escola: um estudo de caso na construção de um projeto realizado no 3º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The present work aims to research, compare and discuss the use of Educational Robotics teaching, seeking to evaluate the perception, learning and development of Emotional Intelligence in the aspects of Empathy and Social Aptitude. The general objective of the research was to investigate how Pedagogical Robotics stimulates the development of Emotional Intelligence skills (Social Ability and Empathy Skills) in students of the 3rd Year of Elementary School in the construction of a project carried out in the classroom. It was based mainly on studies by Seymour Papert on Educational Robotics and Daniel Goleman on Emotional Intelligence. The qualitative field research was carried out in a class of the 3rd grade Elementary School of the Presbyterian College XV of November in Garanhuns-PE, observing the pedagogical proposal of Educational Robotics (LEGO Education - WEDO 2.0 from Viamaker). The observation was based on the activities proposed in the project booklet that explores the Alligator Prototype Challenge, an interdisciplinary class with contents of the school curriculum focused on science. As results obtained it was demonstrated that the skills of Emotional Intelligence were presented in the stages of the methodology of Educational Robotics. Thus, the cognitive and emotional stimulation by which they favor the interpersonal relations and the socialization of the students was evidenced, becoming important in their formation throughout the life.
