The robotics context is suggested as a context that supports the learning of the sciences including mathematics. The present study investigates how the robotics context affects students' motivation for learning mathematics. Two groups of seventh-grade students participated in the present research: a robotics class (32 students) and a regular class…

A qualitatively oriented mixed methods case study was conducted to investigate the effects of incorporating LEGO robotics into a 7th-grade mathematics curriculum. Using the lenses of Social Constructivist Theory and the Five Stages of Technology Integration, this research focused on the development of proportional reasoning skills. The data show…

This study examines secondary school students' attitudes towards robotics, self-regulation skills, and meta-cognition awareness. The research was conducted in the correlational research model, one of the general survey models. The research sample comprised 68 secondary school students who attended a robotic course for two terms. The research data…

Experienced middle school mathematics and science teachers were recruited for a pilot study. The teachers separately responded to a survey related to determining expected learning outcomes based on their traditional teaching, classroom experiences and observations, and self-brainstorming. The teachers then received training on how to design,…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of robotic coding education on cognitive skills awareness and learning responsibilities. The training prepared in this process was designed and implemented by subject experts. The training has been organized as 4 hours a week to last 4 weeks. In this study, both quantitative and qualitative research…

This article reports findings from an exploratory study investigating the effects of robotics professional development sessions in underserved middle schools in the southeastern United States. Eleven middle-level science and mathematics teachers from a high-needs school district received year-long training in robotics technology and instructional…

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived sense of comfort and belonging of girl participants, aged 15-16, engaged within a school-based offering of the Marine Education Advanced Education (MATE) underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) program (MATE-ROV). MATE-ROV is a competition-based educational robotics (ER) program that can…

In this study, the purpose of which was to examine the attitudes of middle school students towards robotic coding, the attitudes of students towards robotic coding were discussed in terms of different variables. The research group consists of 120 secondary school students studying in the 7th and 8th grades of public schools in the central district…

This research was supported within the scope of TÜBITAK-4004 Nature Education and Science Schools Program with Project number 121B899. In this research, it is aimed to evaluate the "Artvin gets Color with Science and Robotics 2" project, which was carried out with 30 secondary school 6th and 7th grade students between 2-8 August 2021…

In this research, the effects of individual and teamwork activities on perceptions of block-based programming self-efficacy and attitudes towards robotic programming tried to be determined. The research has conducted in a private school located in Sariyer, district of Istanbul province in the 2nd academic year of 2018-2019 with 32 students from…

In the present study, the effects of STEM-based robotics applications on students' creativity and scientific attitudes in the Electricity Unit of 7th grade have been investigated using the mixed method's nested pattern. Sixty students, 30 of whom are the experimental group and the other 30 constitute the control group, attending a post-school…

This study aimed to develop a reliable and valid instrument to measure secondary school students' attitude towards robotic coding and the results of the analyses regarding the Robotic Coding Attitude Scale (RCAS) developed for this purpose were reported in the current study. To test the construct validity of the first version of the RCAS…

Lego has been a popular toy since 1932. "LEGO" is an abbreviation of two Danish words "leg godt" which means "play well." In today's LEGO-based learning and teaching environments, it has been revealed in studies that students working to solve problems presented to them were often unaware of how much time has passed.…

The present study focuses on the assessment of summer robotics camp designed for 7th grade students who were supposed to work on a STEM-related problem through modeling and design activities. It was exclusively investigated the effects of these activities on the STEM-related career interests and knowledge structures of students. The students were…

An action research case study was conducted to investigate the effects of incorporating LEGO robotics into a seventh-grade mathematics curriculum focused on the development of proportional reasoning through the lens of Social Constructivist Theory. This research, which was part of a larger study, reports the findings when LEGO EV3 robots were…
