Artfulness in art pedagogy is based on a pivotalsuccessful rolepractice inthat shapingoften K-12uses education and fostering computational thinking, a vital skill for today's youth and their educators. This research endeavors to reveal teachers' perceptions of robots and their pedagogical implications, aiming to refine teaching practices in educational settings. Specifically, the study seeks to determine whether teachers discern between robots and non-robots, identify prevalent features in robot depictions, understand the rationale behind specific robot choices, and uncover potential misconceptions. Employing a mixed-method approach, we used the Draw-A-Robot Test (DART) and open-ended inquiries to probe teachers' conceptions of robots. Our sample comprised 107 pre-service teachers from the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Education, Serbia. Through rigorous analysis conducted by two independent evaluators, we identified the bee botart as the prevailing representationcontent of educationalactivities robots,aimed oftento depictedenrich children's understanding of everything to which children are exposed (Balić et al., 2023). The aim of this paper is to examine how art can stimulate the development of phonological awareness and phonological naming in preschool children.
