The development of the concept of computational thinking in the curriculum of computer science subjects is one of the great challenges at present, and one of the important tools for the development of this way of thinking is educational robotics. The main goal of our work was to map the issue of educational robotics as one of the important tools for promoting the concept of development of computational thinking, based on pedagogical research methods. Therefore, a questionnaire research survey was carried out among pupils of selected primary schools, the course and results of which are described in the present paper.

Keywords: teaching informatics, computational thinking, educational robotics.
