Designing Robotics Activities to Enable Data-Informed Learning in the Metaverse

Abstract

This paper presents a technology-enhanced learning activity that integrates educational robotics and the metaverse to promote computational thinking, programming, and collaboration while increasing motivation and engagement. Students solve narrative problems from the real world through tasks of increasing complexity that include route constraints, time limits, and customizable scenarios. The design incorporates systematic data collection to analyze students’ problem-solving processes and engagement. This data-driven approach supports continuous refinement of instruction and adaptation to meet the diverse needs of students.
