Résumé

Computer Science has been introduced as a new subject in the com- pulsory school curriculum in Switzerland. Research on educational robotics has highlighted potentials of using robots as a hands-on tool to foster computational thinking skills. However, to date these kind of activities are not carried out systematically in schools. To support teachers, a teacher community for educational robotics and computer science education "Roteco" has been established. Teachers can register for free to a digital platform to find classroom-ready activities, news, articles, and information about training and work- shops in their region. Roteco further organizes webinars and events to build the community. Within two years, more than 1,400 teachers have joined the community. In this abstract, we present Roteco, our experiences in establishing the community, platform analytics data as well as a short summary of results from two surveys conducted in 2020 with 87 and in 2021 with 48 teachers. Detailed results can be found in the corresponding journal article [11].

alt=Salle informatique de la bibliothèque d'Art et d'Archéologie de Genève|vignette|Salle informatique de la bibliothèque d'Art et d'Archéologie de Genève (2017). L'informatique est un domaine d'activité scientifique, technique, et industriel concernant le traitement automatique de l'information numérique par l'exécution de programmes informatiques hébergés par des dispositifs électriques-électroniques : des systèmes embarqués, des ordinateurs, des robots, des automates Ces champs d'application peuvent être séparés en deux branches : théorique : concerne la définition de concepts et modèles ; pratique : s'intéresse aux techniques concrètes de mise en œuvre.

Enseignant

Un enseignant est une personne chargée de transmettre des connaissances ou méthodes de raisonnement à autrui dans le cadre d'une formation générale ou d'une formation spécifique à une matière, un domaine ou une discipline scolaire. Le terme « enseignant » désigne la personne qui enseigne aux élèves (en primaire et secondaire). Dans certains contextes, les enseignants peuvent également être appelés « professeurs ». En France, le corps des professeurs des écoles a remplacé celui des instituteurs dans le primaire.

Teacher education

Teacher education or teacher training refers to programs, policies, procedures, and provision designed to equip (prospective) teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, approaches, methodologies and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school, and wider community. The professionals who engage in training the prospective teachers are called teacher educators (or, in some contexts, teacher trainers). There is a longstanding and ongoing debate about the most appropriate term to describe these activities.
