Initial Phases of Design-based Research into the Educational Potentials of NAO-Robots

In this paper, we describe our initial research, using the humanoid robot NAO in primary and secondary schools. How does a programmable humanoid enrich teaching and how do we prepare the teachers? Ten school classes are using the robot for creative programming. So far we have experienced that the robot enriches the learning processes by combining the auditory, visual and kinaesthetic modalities.
