About iDevelop At a time when the continuous improvement of competences and

qualifications has become a reality, a teacher who possesses substantial and

empirical knowledge is an integral part of the school environment.

iDevelop is an international training provider specialized in the development of

professionals working in the educational sector by promoting, supporting and

providing training activities in accordance with the Erasmus+ principles.

It constitutes the teachers training department of euroMind Group, an

international training and internship consultancy aimed at VET sector.

Many years of experience working closely with schools all over Europe has

allowed us to reach a deep understanding of the reality of the teaching sector.

Hence, iDevelop is able to observe the needs, new tendencies and the continuous changes the educational

system is undergoing.

Thanks to this background, iDevelop have launched a wide range of courses and training events which provide

all the necessary tools to improve the skills of teachers and school staff.

The training courses offered by iDevelop were designed in cooperation with experts with an extensive

experience in the field of education. Topics covered in our training courses are all

related to educational issues, such as: motivation, new teaching methods,

emotional balance and the use of new communication and information

technologies.

Educational robotics is becoming a new and necessary element for new generations to get to know. Using robotics in

education implies the design and construction of a robot (a robot being a machine controlled by a computer and

programmed to move, manipulate objects, and carry out various given tasks through interaction with its surroundings).

Educational robotics covers interdisciplinary themes such as: electronics, computing, mechanics and physics, among

others.

Educational robotics is useful in developing productive, creative, digital and

communicative abilities; it becomes a motor for innovation by producing

change in people, in ideas and attitudes, in relationships, and in ways of

acting and thinking of both students and educators.

Educational robotics looks to awaken students’ interest by transforming

traditional subjects (maths, physics, computing) into more attractive and

comprehensive ones. This is done through the creation of favourable

learning environments which recreate the problems of the world around the

students.

Through a powerful resource, as is the methodology of LEGO Education, we help our students become good learners.

FINAL STAGES

Activities suggested and created by participants

Course Programme

By completing this course, participants will be able to:

1. Learn the working of various LEGO programming languages

2. Know how to develop learning in a fun way

3. Know how to adapt students´ learning to the current production processes, where automation

plays a very important role

4. Develop and improve team work skills, allowing people to socialize

5. Know how to create activities that allow the given challenges to be solved through games

6. Develop competencies such as intellectual effort, increased knowledge of information technology

and technological fluidity

7. Increase confidence in the handling of technical concepts and problems

8. Encourage experimentation, where making mistakes is part of the learning and discovery process

9. Foster creativity and innovation through challenges presented as games

10. Know how to establish connections between provable scientific facts

Learning Outcomes

Our methodology is based on the 4Cs: Connect, Construct, Contemplate and Continue, with the objective that the principle of ‘learning by doing’ be practiced in each class. CONNECT: The first stage of the class is CONTEXTUALISATION. In the CONNECT phase, a connection is established between the student’s current knowledge base and their new learning objectives. A practical activity is given with the option of solving problems related to the real world. CONSTRUCT: In the CONSTRUCT phase, students construct models relating to the challenge presented in the previous stage. The building activity provides an environment suited to the mediation process carried out by the facilitator. This may involve the management of conflict, listening to and helping to evaluate ideas, opinions and suggestions, and providing instructions regarding rational and efficient use of the technology. CONTEMPLATE: In the CONTEMPLATE phase, students reflect on how things work by observing, analysing, experimenting and correcting. This process leads to the validation of the projects. CONTINUE: In the CONTINUE phase, students learn to channel their natural desire to learn and understand

things. A new challenge is presented, closely related with the current topic, and the students are guided

through a ‘learning spiral’ where the recently acquired skills are perfected and then applied to new

challenges, consolidating their skills.

Methodology

The course aims to provide participants with a series of tools which will allow them to develop activities for their own centres with the following objectives:

Students become more involved in their own learning Students search for information on a variety of subjects Activities are carried out with motivation, cooperation and a high level of autonomy Students learn problem solving strategies and boost their natural instinct to investigate their

surroundings To help students become more organized Students develop team work skills, allowing them to socialize with others Students develop their creativity

Provide students with new ideas regarding the application of technology in order to improve our environment

How the skills learnt can be applied in teaching work?

José Antonio Domingo holds an advanced degree in Industrial

Engineering from the University of Seville. Passionate about

innovative training. Partner in the LEGO Education ROBOTIX

scheme in the province of Malaga. Founding partner of

HABILITAS EDUCACION S.L. He has been the Technical Director

of ROBOTIX Malaga since 2013 and is developing their activity

mainly in the areas of training and the development of new

training programmes.

His professional career was previously centred in the area of

Industrial Operations, more specifically on production processes, their continuous improvement and

how to re-engineer them, together with staff management of around 900 people. He was responsible

for Production, the areas of Machine and Plant Maintenance and the area of Plant Engineering. Over

the years he has developed the technical knowledge required by these areas, together with other skills

which are no less important, such as focus on results, how to be proactive, team work, ability to work

under pressure and management of change.
