La aplicación de la robótica y la realidad virtual para la mejora de la comunicación expresiva: un estudio exploratorio
Abstract
Las tecnologías emergentes se han incorporado con toda celeridad en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de los niveles educativos obligatorios. Una de las razones de su utilización es la versatilidad que presentan para adaptarse a las necesidades educativas del alumnado. De manera específica nos referimos en este estudio, al alumnado con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA), presente hoy en día en las aulas, Por ello, este estudio, tiene como objetivo realizar un estudio comparativo para analizar las mejoras en la comunicación expresiva del alumnado con trastorno del espectro autista en función de la robótica y la realidad virtual inmersiva. El estudio desarrollado ha utilizado la metodología cuasi-experimental y un diseño pretest-posttest mediante un enfoque cuantitativo. El instrumento de evaluación ha sido el cuestionario Denver. Mientras que para la robótica se utilizó el robot NAO y las gafas Oculus Quest 2 para la realidad virtual. La intervención se desarrolló de septiembre a noviembre de 2023. Se planificaron 11 sesiones con ambas tecnologías para trabajar áreas como el juego simbólico, el aprendizaje de normas o el reconocimiento de emociones. En los resultados obtenidos se ha podido constatar mejoras con ambas tecnologías a pesar de que la robótica es la que ha conseguido unas puntuaciones mas altas. Como futura línea de trabajo, se plantea la posibilidad de añadir mas situaciones para trabajar en las aulas escolares y la incorporación de una inteligencia artificial que pueda ajustar las actividades en tiempo real a las características de los niños.
