The purpose of children's robot education is to cultivate children's logical thinking ability, innovative ability and practical ability, and improve their personal quality. Robot teachers are mainly responsible for guiding students to touch electronic components, insert them themselves and apply them to objects.
Competency requirements:
1. Basic programming knowledge
Programming is one of the most important quality education courses in recent years, and children's robot education has this feature.
The equipment commonly used in children's robot education is Lego's programming robot products. The programming of Lego mindstorms is not the work that programmers do in the public impression, but more the guidance of programming thinking. The language logic of Lego mindstorms conforms to the conventional programming logic, which is more vivid, intuitive and interesting. Every program children do corresponds to the robot's actions, and they can understand the meaning of programming without looking at boring typing codes. Therefore, this requires robot teachers to have studied programming courses, have certain programming experience and thinking, and some companies will also provide professional pre-job training.
2. Teaching ability
The construction of Lego brainstorming needs the guidance of teachers. Before building, children should be guided to analyze it, such as what parts it consists of, what principles each part may use, how to practice these principles and so on. In the process of constructing works, children will also show many characteristics or problems that are usually ignored, which also need teachers to correct or solve.
Teaching concepts such as "programming" and "mechanics" are a process from scratch, which is the most difficult stage in teaching. This requires robot teachers to set corresponding course objectives according to the age of the students they teach, which can well drive the classroom atmosphere and let the children learn knowledge while playing.
Development prospect:
A report on the employment of children's robot teachers in China shows that the salary of robot teachers accounts for the largest proportion, reaching 34%. 1-3 years working experience is the most, accounting for 77%; College degree requirements account for the largest proportion, reaching 5 1%.
At present, children's robot education still belongs to a relatively small industry, but with people paying more and more attention to children's quality education, the future development of robot education industry still has great potential.
