Teacher Perspectives on Teaching the STEM Approach to Educational Coding and Robotics in Primary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
García-Carrillo, Christian; Greca, Ileana María; Fernández-Hawrylak, María – Education Sciences, 2021
An analysis is presented in this study that provides insight into a practical training process and its impact on teachers and their viewpoints toward the integrated STEM approach used in that training process, together with educational coding and robotics, over the first years of compulsory primary education, where STEM implementations are…

Exploring Measurement through Coding: Children's Conceptions of a Dynamic Linear Unit with Robot Coding Toys
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Welch, Lise E.; Shumway, Jessica F.; Clarke-Midura, Jody; Lee, Victor R. – Education Sciences, 2022
Programming activities have the potential to provide a rich context for exploring measurement units in early elementary mathematics. This study examines how a small group of young children (ages 5-6) express their emergent conception of a dynamic linear unit and the measurement concepts they found challenging. Video of an introductory programming…

The Role of Competitive Robotics in Providing Context to Classroom Learning and Technical Skill Development in School Age Students--A Survey of Current Avenues, Assessment, and Path Forward with Systematic Implementation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Dwivedi, Rajeev; Kumar, Arpan; Babu, Bharathy; Grandhi, Nipun; Meka, Rishi; Ahuja, Varun – Education Sciences, 2021
Finding context, examples, and ample hands-on experimentation is fundamental for understanding complex ideas in subjects such as science and math. Recent popularity of competitive robotics has become a catalyst in the development of DIY and hobby kits. Manufacturers have made available easy to work, re-configurable, and functional, structural…

Attitudes towards the Use of Educational Robotics: Exploring Pre-Service and In-Service Early Childhood Teacher Profiles
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Papadakis, Stamatios; Vaiopoulou, Julie; Sifaki, Eirini; Stamovlasis, Dimitrios; Kalogiannakis, Michail – Education Sciences, 2021
The introduction of STEM education, and specifically the implementation of educational robotics (ER), has drawn researchers' attention and has shown that teachers play a crucial role in leading this innovation. The present study concerns in-service and pre-service early childhood teachers, focusing on their perceptions and attitudes about ER use…

The Acquisition of Computational Thinking through Mentoring: An Exploratory Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Cervera, Núria; Diago, Pascual D.; Orcos, Lara; Yáñez, Dionisio F. – Education Sciences, 2020
Educational robotics are commonly present in kindergarten and primary school classrooms, particularly Bee-bot. Its ease of use allows the introduction of computer programming to young children in educational contexts from a science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) perspective. Despite this rise, there are still few…

On Teaching Programming Fundamentals and Computational Thinking with Educational Robotics: A Didactic Experience with Pre-Service Teachers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Piedade, João; Dorotea, Nuno; Pedro, Ana; Matos, João Filipe – Education Sciences, 2020
This study aims to analyze how pre-service informatics teachers design learning scenarios with robotics to teach programming fundamentals and to promote computational thinking skills. A descriptive and exploratory case study design was implemented with 26 pre-service informatics teachers. Data were collected from the participants using qualitative…
