Framework for educational robotics : a multiphase approach to enhance user learning in a competitive arena

Educational robotics involves using robots as an educational tool to provide along term, and progressive learning activity, to cater to different age group. The current concern is that, using robots in education should not be an instance of a one-off project for the sole purpose of participating in a competitive event. Instead, it should be a sustainable long-term progression spanning the primary school to pre-university level. This article presents a framework for robotics using a multiphase approach to enhance user learning in a competitive arena.
