Comments

The following comments concern the answers of students who participated in the project evaluation.

We have 32 responses from students involved in the project.

Over 65% of students are boys.

The age of students ranges from 11 to 15 years.

Over 58% of students live in Greece and 35% in Croatia.

For 37,5% of students it was the first project.

20 students had some previous experience in eTwinning projects before this project.

20 students had some previous experience in robotics before the project.

26 students had participated in robotics courses at school, 6 students had at robotics clubs, 4 students at robotic camps, 4 students at home.

Before the project, 5 students had participated in robotics courses about 0-1 hours, 10 students about 2-5 hours, 5 students about 5-10 hours, 4 students about 10-15 hours and 8 students about more than 15 hours.

Over 73% of students had used a robotic system in their classroom before this project.

Over 77% of students had used a programming environment in their classroom before this project.

Nearly 84% of students had previous experience with Scratch before this project.

Over 90% of students think that they had improved their robotics knowledge and skills through this eTwinning project.

Over 93% of students think that this eTwinning project met their expectations.

Creativity is considered as the most useful or valuable aspect of this project by the students. Critical thinking comes next and collaboration and communication follow next equally.

Micro:bit and Edison had been used mostly as robotic systems in the project this school year. 29 students had used Micro:bit robotic system in the project this school year and 16 students had used Edison robotic system. There was a large difference in the availability of robotic systems among the partner schools. Micro:bit and Edison were the most available robotics kit in the majority of partner schools. Each school had different available robotics kits. The project enabled our students and teachers to get to know various robotics kits "in action", leading to increased students' motivation in the robotics field as an extra positive impact on our students.

Micro:bit is considered by 68% of students the most enjoyable robotic system in the project this school year.

The majority of students considers Scratch as the most enjoyable programming environment in the classroom.

The project was characterized as very demanding by the majority of students.

Nearly 70% of students do not think that boys are more talented in technology, coding and robotics than the girls are.

Programming, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are considered as the main fields of Computer Science that students would like to learn more/upgrade their skill set how to use.

The majority of students would like to use Micro:bit as a robotic kit in the classroom next year. This result could also be influenced by the availability of robotics kits in schools, because not all students had the possibility to use various robotics kits.

All of the students stated that they would like to take part in another eTwinning project in the future.

GENERAL COMMENTS

In general, we can conclude that the eTwinning project Robotics Tour had a positive impact on both students and teachers.

There was a large difference in the availability of robotic systems among the partner schools. Each school had different available robotics kits. The project enabled our students and teachers to get to know various robotics kits "in action", leading to increased students' motivation in the robotics field as an extra positive impact on our students.

We are thrilled that the evaluation results demonstrate that a) Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are considered as the main fields of Computer Science that teachers and students would like to learn more/upgrade their skill set how to use, and b) both students and teachers clearly express their desire to participate in a future eTwinning project.
