Implementing the RoboKids Program in Kindergarten: A Blended Learning Approach for Developing Preschoolers' Digital Skills

The article investigates the impact of the educational program RoboKids, implemented through blended learning activities, on the development of digital skills in preschool children. The research was based on an experimental approach, involving an experimental group and a control group, in order to assess the differences generated by the use of an innovative teaching-learning method. The intervention integrated ten educational digital applications into the daily kindergarten activities over a period of eight weeks, aiming to stimulate early digital skills through age-appropriate technological resources. The results, analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods, indicate a significant improvement among the children in the experimental group, highlighting the effectiveness of the blended learning model in the early development of skills required in today’s digital society. Furthermore, the study proposes directions for optimizing the integration of technology into early childhood education, emphasizing the essential role of the educator in mediating the child–technology relationship.
