Abstract (English): Purpose: To analyze the fundamentals for teaching Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Explainable Neural Networks (XAI), from a constructionist approach, investigating the Open Roberta Lab robotic simulator as a pedagogical mediator. Research methods: This study adopts a qualitative, theoretical-analytical approach, based on a literature review and the analysis of an educational artifact. The research was conducted in three stages: (i) theoretical review on AI in education, XAI, and constructionism; (ii) exploration of the Open Roberta Lab with examples involving neural networks; and (iii) analysis of the environment based on criteria such as artifact construction, interactivity, explainability, usability, and pedagogical mediation. Results: The findings indicate that the Open Roberta Lab robotic simulator has significant potential for AI education, particularly by promoting active learning, experimentation, and visualization of neural network processes. The integration of block-based programming, simulation, and XAI contributes to reducing the complexity of models and fostering a more critical and reflective understanding. Discussion: The study highlights the importance of articulating pedagogical and technological foundations in AI education, emphasizing the role of XAI in promoting AI literacy. Furthermore, robotic simulators emerge as accessible alternatives for implementing constructionist practices, especially in contexts with limited infrastructure. Originality and value: As an original contribution, the study proposes a connection between constructionism, XAI (Interactive Application of Technology), and robotic simulation, offering theoretical support for the development of more accessible pedagogical practices.

Abstract (Portuguese): Objetivo: Analisar os fundamentos para o ensino de Inteligência Artificial (IA) com Redes Neurais Explicáveis (XAI), a partir de uma abordagem construcionista, investigando o simulador robótico Open Roberta Lab como mediador pedagógico. Métodos de pesquisa: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza analítica, baseada em revisão de literatura e análise de um artefato educacional. O estudo foi desenvolvido em três etapas: (i) revisão teórica sobre IA na educação, XAI e construcionismo; (ii) exploração do Open Roberta Lab com exemplos envolvendo Redes Neurais; e (iii) análise do ambiente com base em critérios como construção de artefatos, interatividade, explicabilidade, usabilidade e mediação pedagógica. Resultados: Os resultados evidenciam que o simulador robótico Open Roberta Lab apresenta potencial significativo para o ensino de IA, ao favorecer a aprendizagem ativa, a experimentação e a visualização dos processos internos das redes neurais. A integração entre programação em blocos, simulação e XAI contribui para reduzir a complexidade dos modelos e promover uma compreensão mais crítica e reflexiva. Discussão: O estudo reforça a importância da articulação entre fundamentos pedagógicos e tecnológicos no ensino de IA destacando o papel das XAI na promoção do letramento em IA. Evidenciando que simuladores robóticos podem atuar como alternativas acessíveis para a implementação de práticas construcionistas, especialmente em contextos com limitações de infraestrutura. Originalidade e valor: Como contribuição original, o estudo propõe uma articulação entre construcionismo, XAI e simulação robótica, oferecendo subsídios teóricos para o desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas mais acessíveis.
