Yogi, Jonathan Kimei – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Jung and Won's (2018) review of elementary school ER found a lack of understanding of instructional practices for ER with young children. Other researchers have called for further studies into what effective classroom orchestration and interaction look like within ER classrooms (Ioannou & Makridou, 2018; Xia & Zhong, 2019). This study was…

Sung, Woonhee; Ahn, Junghyun; Black, John B. – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2022
Using robotics and programming, this study investigated the effects of different levels of embodied instruction on the problem-solving, debugging, programming proficiency, self-determination, and self-efficacy of students in ethnically diverse elementary classrooms. The first small-scale, quasi-experimental study involved 37 second-graders, who…

Hudson, Mary-Alice; Baek, Youngkyun – Computers in the Schools, 2022
This study explored whether the computational thinking skills of early elementary-aged students be positively impacted by participation in a robotics-based, classroom intervention. Action research was used to examine the impact of a multifaceted, constructionist, robotics-based intervention on 37 second and third grade students at an elementary…

Jung, Sung Eun; Lee, Kyunghwa; Cherniak, Shara; Cho, Eunji – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2020
This case study focused on the robotics learning process of Mark (a pseudonym), a Latino-American second grader diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Drawing on Polanyi's (Personal knowledge: towards a post-critical philosophy [Kindle version], 1958/2015) notion of "tacit knowing" and "dwelling in tools," we attempted to…

Govind, Madhu – ProQuest LLC, 2022
In recent years there has been an increased push for K-12 computer science education. A major reason for this push is the growing evidence that introducing young children to coding can enhance their interest and promote their learning of foundational skills needed to thrive in today's technologically rich world. However, little research has…

Baek, Youngkyun; Wang, Sasha; Yang, Dazhi; Ching, Yu-Hui; Swanson, Steve; Chittoori, Bhaskar – European Journal of STEM Education, 2019
This study, a sub-study of a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded research project, applies a modified strategy of the U[superscript 2]MC for an eight-week afterschool robotics curriculum to promote upper elementary students' computational thinking in the second grade. Twenty-one students in second grade participated in a Life on Mars project…

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…

Sullivan, Amanda; Bers, Marina Umaschi – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2019
Men continue to outnumber women in many Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields, particularly technical fields such as engineering and computer science. Educational interventions aimed at addressing the gender disparity between men and women have generally focused on increasing the interest of girls and women during high school…

Cherniak, Shara; Lee, Kyunghwa; Cho, Eunji; Jung, Sung Eun – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2019
Research on early childhood robotics education often focuses narrowly on teaching young children STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) concepts and skills. In this qualitative case study, our research team examined what happened when we worked with young children (age 7) and combined the technologies of robotics education with…

Cho, Eunji; Lee, Kyunghwa; Cherniak, Shara; Jung, Sung Eun – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2017
Drawing on Latour's (Reassembling the social: an introduction to actor--network-theory, Oxford University Press, New York, 2005), this manuscript discusses a study of a robotics class in a public, Title I elementary school. Compared with theoretical frameworks (e.g., constructivism and constructionism) dominant in the field of early childhood…

Sullivan, Amanda; Bers, Marina Umaschi – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2016
In recent years there has been an increasing focus on the missing "T" of technology and "E" of engineering in early childhood STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) curricula. Robotics offers a playful and tangible way for children to engage with both T and E concepts during their foundational early childhood…

Sullivan, Amanda; Bers, Marina Umaschi – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2016
Prior work demonstrates the importance of introducing young children to programming and engineering content before gender stereotypes are fully developed and ingrained in later years. However, very little research on gender and early childhood technology interventions exist. This pilot study looks at N = 45 children in kindergarten through second…

Friebroon-Yesharim, Mor; Ben-Ari, Mordechai – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2018
Studying computer science (CS) in elementary schools has gained become popular in recent years. However, students at such a young age encounter difficulties when first engaging with CS. Robotics has been proposed as a medium for teaching CS to young students, because it reifies concepts in a tangible object, and because of the excitement of…

Figen Durkaya – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2023
The present study has been developed in order to inquire the cognitive awareness of the 2nd grade-level students of the Science Teaching program on "sensors", which has an important place in the development of the robotic and automation systems. In the study, the method of case study, which is one of the qualitative research motifs, was…
