Aplicação da robótica alternativa e a experimentação do laboratório remoto virtual de robótica alternativa - Labrvra

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze an educational practice using Alternative Educational Robotics as an experiment. As a result, the Virtual Remote Alternative Robotics Laboratory - Labrvra, an innovative educational product based on active and immersive methodologies to provide students with a teaching and learning experience in various technological vocational education disciplines, was developed. Labrvra was created based on the construction of robots and technological models made with electronic scraps and alternative materials, including a sumo wrestling robot. The proposal was based on the results obtained in previous Alternative Robot-ics projects at the Esther da Silva Virgolino State School and the Professor Nilton Balieiro Machado State School, as well as the experimentation of the educational product at the Fed-eral Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Amapá - IFAP/Campus Macapá. The research consisted of a qualitative bibliographic and field analysis, as well as a quantitative data analysis. The central idea was to use Alternative Educational Robotics together with ac-tive and immersive learning methodologies, such as the Flipped Classroom, the Rotational Laboratory, Gamification, and Virtual and Remote Laboratories. A remote and virtual learn-ing environment was developed to replicate the practices performed in a traditional physical robotics education laboratory, making it possible to make choices through operations and measures of extreme precision in a controlled environment with affordable costs. In this way, Labrvra democratizes access to innovative remote and virtual practices.
