Abstract

The integration of technology in education has been essential to improve teaching practices, transforming pedagogical approaches and enabling more dynamic and interactive classes. Educational Technologies and Educational Robotics enrich teaching-learning, preparing educators for new challenges. For this, it is essential to adapt pedagogical strategies, enabling teachers to use these tools effectively. This study analyzed the contributions of a training process focused on robotics and educational technologies for teachers of a public school in Rio Grande do Sul. Two workshops were held, lasting three hours each, addressing the themes “Robotics: Projects with Arduino” and “Educational Technologies: Other Approaches to Game Creation”. Conducted by experts in the fields of Electronics, Automation and Information Technologies, the workshops offered detailed explanations, practical experiments and moments of exchange of experiences. Teachers recognized the importance of technological integration in the classroom, reporting improvements in their pedagogical practices and increased use of technological tools. Nevertheless, challenges such as difficulties in the domain of tools indicate the need for continuous training. The study highlights the potential of robotics and educational technologies to connect content and enrich the educational process, highlighting the relevance of continuous support to teachers.
