Abstract

Learning how to collaborate with limited resources was the key point for elementary students’ social interaction and emotion development. This study designed a system of Multi-robots, allowing students to control robots to do dice moving by varied methods and discussing the process of collaboration and conflicts. From the study, conflict was not avoidable. Therefore, what we should do was not only to guide students the way to avoid conflicts but also to help them learning to face conflicts and to communicate with other people. Learners had to coordinate and find the way to avoid conflicts, improving efficiency of completing the task of collaboration. It was an important skill during students’ socialization.
