Direct linkMari, Emilie; Millon Faure, Karine; Assude, Teresa – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2022
In this article, we focus on how spatial knowledge can be articulated with the integration of programmable floor robots in the mathematics classroom. We describe the observation grid we conceived to take into account three distinct dimensions: spatial knowledge, robotics and computer programming. Then, we implement this tool to analyse mathematics…

Akyuz, Halil Ibrahim; Yildiz, Ismail; Bilgici, Göksal – Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Today, technology needs to be used effectively in the structuring of learning environments where learners can learn by experimenting and exploring knowledge. Parallel to the adoption of the constructivist approach in the development of teaching programmes in Turkey, individuals should be able to live and practice developing and learning by…

González-Calero, José Antonio; Cózar, Ramón; Villena, Rafael; Merino, José Miguel – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
The research literature on the topic of "spatial ability" reveals that it has a major influence on achievement in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Additionally, previous studies indicate the existence of a gender gap in spatial ability in favour of males. Mental rotation, one subskill of spatial ability, is…

Moore, Tamara J.; Brophy, Sean P.; Tank, Kristina M.; Lopez, Ruben D.; Johnston, Amanda C.; Hynes, Morgan M.; Gajdzik, Elizabeth – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Computational thinking requires high cognitive load as students work to manage multiple tasks in their problem-solving environment. Through research in K-2 classrooms on computational thinking, we noticed that students lack the representational fluency needed to move from one form to another--such as moving from physical to more abstract…

Brockington, Guilherme; Schivani, Milton; Barscevicius, Cesar; Raquel, Talita; Pietrocola, Maurício – Physics Education, 2018
Research in the field of physics teaching has revealed high school students' difficulties in establishing relations between kinematic equations and real movements. Moreover, there are well-known and significant challenges in their comprehension of graphic language content. Thus, this article explores a didactic activity which utilized robotics in…

Palmér, Hanna – International Research in Early Childhood Education, 2017
This article presents a teaching intervention where programming was used to facilitate preschoolers' learning of mathematics, especially in their development of spatial thinking. In the intervention, the programming was made with a small programmable robot especially designed for young students. The results indicate that the children developed…

Faria, Carlos; Vale, Carolina; Machado, Toni; Erlhagen, Wolfram; Rito, Manuel; Monteiro, Sérgio; Bicho, Estela – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2016
Robotics has been playing an important role in modern surgery, especially in procedures that require extreme precision, such as neurosurgery. This paper addresses the challenge of teaching robotics to undergraduate engineering students, through an experiential learning project of robotics fundamentals based on a case study of robot-assisted…

Verner, Igor M. – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2004
This article considers the use of a learning environment, RoboCell, where manipulations of objects are performed by robot operations specified through the learner's application of mathematical and spatial reasoning. A curriculum is proposed relating to robot kinematics and point-to-point motion, rotation of objects, and robotic assembly of spatial…
