We have been working on educational robotics for several years and our master work has involved cognitive and psychomotor taxonomies for educational robotics, resulting in our own taxonomy for the cognitive domain and a taxonomy for the psychomotor domain. Throughout the research, we were constantly asked questions about the assessment of the stated learning objectives for educational robotics in the classroom and the assessment of the pupils themselves working with the robotic kits. After these questions were insufficiently answered, we decided to choose the problem of assessment of pupils working with educational robotics on the teaching process as our main research problem, thus providing a deeper insight into this issue. Assessment is one of the most powerful interventions found in the educational research literature that can improve learning and teaching. However, identifying models and tools to assess pupils in relatively new educational activities like robotics is a question whether current approaches to assessing pupils are sufficiently appropriate for such a relatively new educational activity as robotics. Assessment is a compulsory part of the Slovak teaching process. Usually, teachers use grades to assess their pupils, but if we want robotics to be taken seriously, we need to come up with a good assessment method that will motivate pupils and fulfill the basic functions of assessment. In this paper we will try to present the preliminary results of our research.
