The aim of our research is to identify a scale with levels representing gradation of cognitive operations in learning with the Blue-Bot (TTS, Nottingham, England) at primary school informatics in Slovakia. Therefore, qualitative research was conducted, and it took place in iterative rounds at two different schools. During the pandemic, when the schools were closed, the research continued with small groups of children at home. As a working tool, a series of activities that were iteratively developed, edited, and then analyzed, was used. Preliminary results of this research show that there are 4 levels on the scale, while the content of each level contains 4 different areas: a) how to manipulate the robot, b) defining the state of the robot, i.e. its position and rotation, c) difficulty of the pad on which it moves and d) cognitive operations with commands. By combining these areas, different levels of difficulty can be set in creating gradual tasks, with regard to the pupils’ cognitive level.

These results are based on the cognitive domain of learning and in the future, we want to connect them with psychomotor domain.
