Brannon, Frank – Science and Children, 1997
Presents activities for K-4 students that explore two areas of body mechanics--bones and joints--with an emphasis on the human hand. Relates knowledge of how the body functions to comparable examples in robotics such as the "hand" of the Canadarm of the space shuttle. Activities are geared for students in pairs. (AIM)

Wagner, Susan Preston – Journal of Computing in Childhood Education, 1998
Examined whether use of robotics had a greater effect on elementary school children's achievement in science concepts and problem-solving abilities than use of battery-powered motorized manipulatives or no manipulatives. Found no significant difference in achievement from use of robotics except in programming language problem solving. Both…

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…

Beals, Laura; Bers, Marina – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2006
New technologies are slowly making it into the early childhood classroom; however, many families expose their children to these technologies before they encounter them in the formal school setting. Thus, many parents serve as the first teachers of technological literacy to their children. Or, as it is more frequent, parents and children learn…

Tang, Le D. – 1983
A study focused on the task of identifying competencies for robotics training. The level of robotics training was limited to that of robot technicians. Study objectives were to obtain a list of occupational competencies; to rank their order of importance; and to compare opinions from robot manufacturers, robot users, and robotics educators…

Maker, C. June – 1988
A framework for curriculum design and a set of guidelines for curriculum development in gifted education are presented. The major dimensions guiding curriculum development for gifted students are: content, process, product, and learning environment. Curriculum content should be developed in such a way that it becomes more abstract, complex,…

Moock, Lynn D. – 1984
An evaluator studied the effectiveness of the displaced worker entry-level and the upgrade components of the electronics/robotics training program. Since the program was a pilot project with attendant trials and errors, a user-focused process of evaluation was selected. Entry-level students, administrators, the counselor, and instructors completed…
