Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies necessitates the continuous updating of teaching methodologies within the inclusive education. This study focuses on improving the project-based learning method and enhancing students’ digital literacy by integrating LEGO EV3 and SPIKE PRIME robotics kits into an inclusive educational environment. Currently, there is a growing need to develop computational and logical thinking skills in children with special educational needs using software tools. During the research, a digital learning environment titled “Project-Based Robotics Education in an Inclusive Group” was developed and implemented in the learning process among 4th-grade students of Gymnasium school No. 87 in Astana. The platform offers a set of adapted tasks aimed at developing computational, logical, creative, and practical skills. As a result, students’ motivation, interest, and engagement in lessons increased. The LEGO EV3 and SPIKE PRIME-based digital learning resource demonstrated the effectiveness of project-based learning in the inclusive education system. It ensured educational accessibility for students with special needs and experimentally confirmed the success of the method. The methodological framework of the research includes systematic analysis and experimental testing of the developed educational tools.
