Mitnik, Ruben; Recabarren, Matias; Nussbaum, Miguel; Soto, Alvaro – Computers & Education, 2009
Graphing is a key skill in the study of Physics. Drawing and interpreting graphs play a key role in the understanding of science, while the lack of these has proved to be a handicap and a limiting factor in the learning of scientific concepts. It has been observed that despite the amount of previous graph-working experience, students of all ages…

Ostashewski, Nathaniel; Moisey, Susan; Reid, Doug – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2011
This report explores the first iteration of a teacher professional development courselet grounded in constructionist theory and activities. This online teacher professional development (oTPD) courselet provided opportunities for teachers to engage in just-in-time, ongoing TPD within a social networking site for educators. The topic of the oTPD was…

Pásztor, Attila; Pap-Szigeti, Róbert; Lakatos Török, Erika – Informatics in Education, 2010
In this article we try to show how new devices and methods can help in the education of programming. At Kecskemét College programmable mobile robots and instead of behavioral, the constructivist pedagogical methods were used. Our experiments have proved our hypothesis as the improved new methodical education using devices can give more practical…

Tunnicliffe, Sue Dale – Journal of Elementary Science Education, 2008
The story from the museum may not be read by visitors, who come with their own knowledge and understanding and read a different story in the animals. The visitors read a story which makes sense to them and builds on what they already know and interests them. Increasingly, robotics models are being used in natural history museums, science centers,…

Smith, Linda B.; Breazeal, Cynthia – Developmental Science, 2007
What are the essential properties of human intelligence, currently unparalleled in its power relative to other biological forms and relative to artificial forms of intelligence? We suggest that answering this question depends critically on understanding developmental process. This paper considers three principles potentially essential to building…

Deal, Walter F. – Technology Teacher, 1997
Discusses a variety of sensors--specifically those of the NASA Mars Pathfinder Lander--and identifies other kinds of sensor technologies used in the industrial and scientific world. Suggests that using sensors to solve technological problems is limited only by one's creativity and imagination. (JOW)

Chambers, Joan M.; Carbonaro, Mike; Murray, Hana – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2008
Science educators advocate hands on experiences and the use of manipulatives as important for children's conceptual development. Consequently, the utilisation of "Lego" robotic technologies in teaching and learning has become more prevalent in school science classrooms. It is important to investigate their value as educational tools, particularly…

Wei, Chun-Wang; Hung, I-Chun; Lee, Ling; Chen, Nian-Shing – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2011
This research demonstrates the design of a Joyful Classroom Learning System (JCLS) with flexible, mobile and joyful features. The theoretical foundations of this research include the experiential learning theory, constructivist learning theory and joyful learning. The developed JCLS consists of the robot learning companion (RLC), sensing input…

Deal, Walter F., III – Technology Teacher, 2007
Sound provides and offers amazing insights into the world. Sound waves may be defined as mechanical energy that moves through air or other medium as a longitudinal wave and consists of pressure fluctuations. Humans and animals alike use sound as a means of communication and a tool for survival. Mammals, such as bats, use ultrasonic sound waves to…

Asimopoulos, Nikolaos D.; Kyriakos, Nathanail; Mpatzakis, Vlasios – International Journal on E-Learning, 2007
Technical education is, by definition, a field that requires hands-on practice and experience by the student. When it comes to distant learning, technical education suffers from lack of such practical study, given the fact that e-learning is based on theoretical material being provided remotely to the student. This article presents the idea of…

Jou, Min; Chuang, Chien-Pen; Wu, Yu-Shiang – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2010
With the evolution of the surrounding world market, engineers have to propose innovations in products and processes. Industrial innovation frequently results from an improved understanding of basic physics. In this paper, an approach to accelerate inventive preliminary design is presented. This method combines the main advantages of CBR (Case…

Arita, A.; Hiraki, K.; Kanda, T.; Ishiguro, H. – Cognition, 2005
As technology advances, many human-like robots are being developed. Although these humanoid robots should be classified as objects, they share many properties with human beings. This raises the question of how infants classify them. Based on the looking-time paradigm used by [Legerstee, M., Barna, J., & DiAdamo, C., (2000). Precursors to the…
