Gonzalez, Fernando – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
The study of robotics has become a popular course among many educational programs, especially as a technical elective. A significant part of this course involves having the students learn how to program the movement of a robotic arm by controlling the velocity of its individual joint motors, a topic referred to as joint programming. They must…

Kopcha, Theodore J.; Ocak, Ceren; Qian, Yingxiao – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
The purpose of this paper is twofold. We first present a methodological framework for the analysis of embodied interaction with technology captured through video recording. The framework brings together a social semiotic approach to multimodality with the philosophical and theoretical roots of embodied cognition. We then demonstrate the…

Balaton, Mariana; Cavadas, Jorge; Carvalho, Paulo Simeão; Lima, J. J. G. – Physics Education, 2021
Experimental teaching is essential for a good understanding of science, especially on Physics. Practical activities play an important role for engaging students with science, mainly when they interact directly with equipment, collect experimental data with computers and/or use interactive software for data analysis. In this work, we present the…
