Currently, educational robotics and its trends determine the innovative, creative, educational landscape. This article discusses current issues of teaching educational robotics in an online format based on simulators and their pedagogical aspects. Attention is focused on expanding the possibilities of pedagogical strategies in teaching educational robotics. The dominant trends in the use of educational robotics are aimed at using a combination of an educational package with subsequent experimentation. The pedagogization of these directions is to contribute to the creation of an environment that will support both the concepts of teaching and the concept of learning. The article will help in the development of pedagogical opportunities in teaching robotics in an online format and further offline application. Due to the growing needs for new teaching methods in technologically saturated environments, the need to strengthen the methodological base is growing.
This article, based on a rethinking of the pedagogy of educational robotics based on online simulators, contributes to the study and practical application of these training tools, among the most significant advantages of which can be called a direct link with the improvement of learning, the development of cognitive skills, the assembly and operation of devices, communication with other pedagogical methods as a project. All exercises should contain reflection and reflexive observation. The training is supported by specific problem statements, interdisciplinary tasks, with the development of a prototype.
