What is Floor Mat

Chapter 217
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition
A paper or foam based mat (mainly located on the floor or high-table) which is separated in blocks of 15X15 centimeters. Each floor mat represents a specific theme/ concept and each block depicts different sub-theme/ sub-concept related to the overall theme/ concept. Each floor mat may have from 9 to 24 blocks (or even more!) Floor mats can be developed for various subject matters.

Abstract
Robotics activities are related to addressing a problem, and usually problems in authentic, real situations. The students are given a driving question and are requested to solve a “problem”. Having noticed this connection, the current study evaluates the integration of robotics as a tool where the problem based learning (PBL) method and the interdisciplinary approach are intertwined. Specifically, the pre-programmable floor robots, the BeeBots, were used as cognitive-learning tools in order to examine students' development of problem based learning skills: creativity-innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration. A case study approach was employed, collecting quantitative (pre- and post-questionnaires) and qualitative data (focus groups). The results revealed positive student experiences and reactions, and enhancement of the critical thinking and creativity-innovation skills.
