Abstract
This chapter presents a methodology for the development of activities based on educational robotics: five phases of educational robotics (5PER). First, the authors describe how technology and science have evolved to this day, recognizing their importance, and how they have impacted the schools with approaches such as STEM. Then, the main theories and learning approaches that have driven to the use of educational robotics in schools are reviewed, as well as concepts of robotics, educational robotics, and the difference between them. Finally, each of the five phases are explained, and two practical examples of how to implement them in the development of learning activities are shown.
