Abstract
Denne undersøgelse ser på, hvordan LEGO-klodser kan kombineres med en interaktiv tablet for at skabe læringsteknologi, der giver motiverende feedback til børn i alderen 5–7 år. Vi brugte deltagende design, hvor børn medvirker som meddesignere, og afholdt en workshop med otte børn på 11–13 år. Målet var at udvikle en proof-of-concept-prototype baseret på børnenes idéer fra workshoppen. Vi analyserede skitser, samtaler og aktiviteter med tematisk analyse, en metode til at finde gennemgående mønstre i kvalitative data. Resultatet er et koncept til et undervisningssystem, hvor tabletten giver feedback, der understøtter LEGO Educations 4C’er – en konstruktionistisk tilgang, der fremmer læring ved at bygge, reflektere og gentage med LEGO.
This study explores how LEGO bricks and an interactive tablet can be combined to create learning technology that gives engaging feedback to children aged 5–7. We used participatory design, a method where children help shape the design, and ran a workshop with eight children aged 11–13. Our goal was to build a proof-of-concept prototype based on the ideas generated in this workshop. We analyzed the children’s sketches, discussions, and activities using thematic analysis, a way to identify common patterns in qualitative data. The outcome is a concept for an educational system in which the tablet provides feedback that supports LEGO Education’s 4Cs, a constructionist approach that promotes learning by building, reflecting, and iterating with LEGO.
