ABSTRACT
The many paradigm shifts in education that came with and after the pandemic emergency have motivated exploring and putting in practice alternatives to enhance the teaching-learning process. Learning by Teaching (LbT) is an educational approach in which individuals strengthen their learning and understanding of a subject by teaching it to others. We present an approach to apply Learning by Teaching in the context of teaching an introductory course in robotics in high schools. Our initial experiences using the proposed approach confirm that LbT offers key advantages, including enhanced engagement and active participation, which contribute to improved comprehension and knowledge transfer.

Recommendations
Robotics to promote elementary education pre-service teachers' STEM engagement, learning, and teaching
We report a research project with a purpose of helping teachers learn how to design and implement science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) lessons using robotics. Specifically, pre-service teachers' STEM engagement, learning, and ...
Multilingual Elementary School Students' Computer Science and STEM Learning through Robotics
ICER '23: Proceedings of the 2023 ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research - Volume 2As one of the fastest growing populations in the K-12 public school system, multilingual learners (MLs), particularly those from Hispanic and/or Latinx backgrounds, represent the future workforce of the nation [1, 2, 10, 12]. Yet, they are drastically ...
Educational Robotics and Inquiry Learning: A Pilot Study in a Web-Based Learning Environment
ICALT '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE 11th International Conference on Advanced Learning TechnologiesRecent studies show that pupils are very enthusiastic when using robotic systems and robots in schools. However, these are mainly used only in extracurricular activities to learn about the robots, take part in different contests or for research ...
