In addition to the competition, the educational value of parents to robots still stays at the most superficial cognitive level. They think that children like robots and play, which can cultivate their practical ability and creativity. They know nothing about other values. Children often like to play, so as long as the economic conditions permit, they will sign up for class. The resulting problem is also obvious, that is, the younger students. The mode of robot education: robot education platform (such as Lego)+competition; So far, for parents, the greatest value of robot education lies in competition. Learning robots is to take part in competitions and win prizes. When you can help your child go to school, mainly at the beginning of junior high school, pay special attention to whether you can pass the identification of science students and enter a prestigious school. Therefore, most robot learning institutions inside and outside the school choose some basic platforms for students to learn some basic knowledge of robots, and then conduct competition training for competition events. Parents don't pay much attention to the core value of robot education, and they don't care about their children's learning interests and gains. Everything is based on competition.
As a practitioner in the education industry, I attach great importance to the dual cultivation of children's intellectual factors and non-intellectual factors. In terms of intellectual factors, it focuses on cultivating children's attention, observation, logical thinking and imagination. In terms of non-intellectual factors, we should focus on cultivating children's hobbies, endurance and willpower to setbacks, self-confidence and lively personality. We believe that education should not only "dispel doubts", but also "teach", focusing on the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality.
However, it is not easy to achieve such a goal. It is not advisable to copy the western education model hastily without considering the actual educational situation in China, and it is unscientific to blindly adhere to the existing education model that is still rigid without focusing on the future. Because of this, after several years of hard exploration and practice, we are trying to find an innovative way of education that meets the learning situation of children and the needs of parents in China.
In terms of teaching methods, the activity teaching method is adopted, with students as the leading role and teachers as the directors, so that students can learn knowledge by participating in discussions, games and operating teaching AIDS according to their own abilities. We choose building blocks, science and technology model kits, robot components and so on to develop intellectual potential. The content that is easy to be accepted and loved by children is taken as the teaching carrier, and children's intelligence factors are promoted through professional teaching links such as question introduction, discussion, hands-on production, analysis and summary, extension and expansion, and the development of children's non-intelligence factors is promoted through game interaction, obstacle setting, active encouragement and active communication.
Parents and society's cognition of robot education: play, not learn;
In addition to the competition, the educational value of parents to robots still stays at the most superficial cognitive level. They think that children like robots and play, which can cultivate their practical ability and creativity. They know nothing about other values. Children often like to play, so as long as the economic conditions permit, they will sign up for class. The resulting problem is also obvious, that is, the younger students.
The real value of robot education;
First of all, robot is a basic science education platform, which contains certain scientific value. In universities and scientific research institutions, we carry out all kinds of teaching and research on the robot platform, especially in the fields of mathematics and computer science. For teenagers, robot education should also explore the scientific value of robot platform as much as possible, so that primary and secondary school students can complete tasks on the robot platform, not just play. Through robot education, students can not only cultivate their hands-on ability, but also cultivate their scientific consciousness and improve their scientific calculation and understanding ability.

Secondly, robots have irreplaceable attraction to teenagers. Most children like to play with robots, so do adults. We often say that only robots can attract children out of the quagmire of video games.
As a multidisciplinary platform, robot is also an interesting platform to attract children. Robot course is based on robot teaching AIDS, and integrates knowledge of physics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, intelligence and computer, so that children can experience the fun of science and technology in practice and improve their comprehensive quality. Robotics course creates an atmosphere for students to use their hands and brains and provides necessary equipment and tools for students to carry out design activities. Through "learning by doing", students comprehensively apply mathematics, mechanical principles, natural science, engineering structure, optics, automatic control, computer programming and so on. In the process of completing intelligent robots, cultivate their practical ability, stimulate students' interest in science and technology, improve their information technology literacy and cultivate teenagers' STEM quality.
