supported by technology, which is offered many opportunities to both educators and students. The concept of robots, or the use of robotics, in the classroom may be seen as part
of the evolution of technology and the desire for its use to enhance the education process. The appreciation of the potential of robots in the classroom is not new, although
often associated with science fiction novels, especially in the previous decades, the idea has remained attractive (Pattis, 1981). However, as technology has developed applications which were once perceived as existing
only in the realm of science fiction have become a reality, and different types of robotics are increasingly found in classrooms, from kindergarten through to postgraduate environments (Cooper et al.,
1999). 1.1 The Role of Robots in Education In order to consider the way in which robots may be at play a positive role within education, and benefit both
students and teachers, as well as consider some of the potential challenges it is necessary to first define what is meant by a robot. There is no singular all inclusive
definition, The Robot Institute of America, which is a trade Association made up of different manufacturers and users of robots defines a robot as "A robot is a reprogramable multifunctional
manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices, through variable programed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks" (OTA, 1982). While giving a generally broad definition,
this definition which is more than two decades old also reveals the heavy bias within robotics during the early stages of development and industrial uses (OTA, 1982), Just as
the potential applications of robots have increased the definition also needs to be reevaluated, with Cooper (et al, 1999) providing a useful approach will be utilized in this paper, with
