In 2012, I published a book chapter called “Educational Robotics Theories and Practice: tips for how to do it right,” focusing on the theoretical foundation of educational robotics and pedagogical approaches to enhance student learning through educational robotics as a learning tool. The pedagogical approaches include the “learner-centered approach,” “project-/inquiry-based approach,” “supporting student learning with good scaffolding,” and “promoting documentation.” The chapter was written even before Computing/Computer Science (CS) Education was officially introduced to schools (i.e., The U.K. made computing teaching compulsory from the age of 5 in 2014). The paper revisits the chapter and reexamines the pedagogical approaches, including those in CS education and engineering education, to update the knowledge base to deepen the understanding of the power of educational robotics (ER) in constructionist learning environments. It aims to support educators who are new to ER learning but interested in integrating constructionist ER learning practices in their teacher education or/and teacher professional development programs as well as in their classrooms.
