Technology and Early Mathematics Skills: Effectiveness of I Love Math with Robots
Journal of Educational Research, v116 n2 p90-99 2023
Technological tools facilitate mathematical learning and make children love mathematics, thanks to their structures and ways of working. In this context, educational robots appear as a very attractive alternative. Studies show that the use of these devices provides positive cognitive outcomes. This research aimed to investigate the effect of using robotic devices on the early math skills of preschool children. Participants consisted of 24 children aged between 50-68 months. In the study, quasi-experimental model was used. Children in the experimental group attended the 8-week "I Love Math with Robots" designed by the researchers whereas those in the control group engaged in activities without technologic robots including the same objectives. Early math skills of children in both groups were assessed individually before and after the intervention. The results indicated that changes in math scores of children in the experimental group were significantly different from those in the control group.
