  • The purpose of this deliverable is to present the work done during the second year towards the creation of a framework for pedagogical activities in educational robotics. A general idea of the framework was presented in D1.2. However this definition required detailed description of its characteristics and literature analysis on other frameworks. A revision of available frameworks in educational robotics showed that there is no other framework on educational robotics that provides a comprehensive guideline to the main stakeholders in educational robotics. As a consequence it was then review frameworks in technology to identify features that are relevant on those frameworks. Considering these factors and the stakeholders, identified in D1.1, a requirement analysis of these stakeholders was done in order to correctly pin-point areas in which the framework should focus. Therefore the framework is envision as a guidelines for educationally comprehensive use of robotics, making evident the connection that was not visible in most of the works reported on educational robotics: pedagogy, 21st century skills, specific knowledge in robotics and general knowledge. Base on this analysis, industry requirements, reported in D1.1, and suggestions provided in D6.3, it was done a literature review on critical thinking, creativity and collaboration to determine current tendencies on the evaluation and improvement of these skills. Additional, it is presented the conceptualization of an ontology 1 on educational robotics field, which in the future is intended to be implemented in a knowledge base. This base will be helpful on the creation of semantic search systems that could be also used in the repository once it is implemented.
