Spatial thinking in primary students’ educational robotics construction tasks: An exploratory study
The present work aims at exploring spatial thinking of primary students while they construct a robot with
Lego WeDo 2.0 in groups of two. Towards this aim, content analysis of the videorecording of this
procedure is performed on the basis of two proposed coding frameworks, i.e., for the spatial speech and
the students’ hands gestures/movements, respectively. The results revealed varying enacted and spoken
manifestations of the students’ spatial thinking and language upon which the potentiality of their
scaffolding towards their further enhancement within the broader context of STEM education is revealed.
Further implementations of the proposed approach at different contexts may justify the potentiality of
exploration of spatial thinking during educational robotics construction tasks, providing additional
domain of analysis for the enactment of spatial thinking and language expression.
