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…

Computational thinking (CT) is recognized as an essential and universally applicable skill for all disciplines (Wing, 2006; Bundy, 2007). Proponents of CT acknowledge that it is integral to fostering 21st century skills such as problem-solving and higher-order thinking (Barr & Stephenson, 2011; Wing, 2006). Educational robotics activities have…

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…

Munn, Carol A. – ProQuest LLC, 2020
This research study explored robotics as the catalyst for computational thinking (CT) by sixth-grade students as they are engaged in a science lesson. The interactions, understandings, and applications are discussed, along with the participants' connections and implementations of CT concepts (decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and…

Talalai, Stephanie Orosz – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Teachers of students with severe multiple low-incidence disabilities have been tasked with the implementation of grade-level Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and content through all curriculum areas and academic skills. These school mandates often leave teachers searching for methods, best practices, accommodations, and tools to implement these…

Ferris, Kira Davad – ProQuest LLC, 2019
This study was an examination of the systemization of, and law and ethics concepts incorporated into, robotics and computer science courses that offered artificial intelligence as part of the curriculum of selected community colleges. The researcher completed a mixed-methods study using surveys and document analysis. The first area of…

Neece, Jesse Eligha – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Some of the most dynamic and demanding careers are in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, when analyzing gender, there are great disparities among gender in STEM. Statistics indicate females are vastly underrepresented and males are employed double the rate of females. Leading STEM companies are…

But, Is It Working? Mentor Involvement in Informal Elementary STEM Programs. A Collective Case Study
Leeker, Jessica Rush – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Despite generous funding, the current data shows slow-moving demographical changes in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields, and little to no slowing in the decline of STEM-associated career interests in underserved communities (Leeker, Maxey, Cardella & Hynes, 2019). While a considerable amount has been written about the…

Cheng, Pericles L. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The Digital Agenda for Europe (2015) states that there will be 825,000 unfilled vacancies for Information and Communications Technology by 2020. This lack of IT professionals stems from the small number of students graduating in computer science. To retain more students in the field, teachers can use remote robotic experiments to explain difficult…

Hall-Lay, Sandra – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Lack of STEM-related self-efficacy has impeded the growth of women in STEM fields. Out of school (OST) robotics programs and other STEM-related OST programs provide secondary students with opportunities to work in groups, brainstorm, and formulate ideas that require communication and teamwork. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental…

Salomons, Nicole – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Robots have shown great promise in being effective tutors for both children and adults. For instance, they have been shown to be successful in math tutoring for children, interruptions training for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and assisting the elderly while exercising. Yet, despite the great potential of tutoring robots, most studies…

Sheehy, Leonard – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Addition of fractions is an important foundation for students to experience success in mathematics. This mixed-methods study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of robotics as a mathematics manipulative with seventh grade students. Two groups of students were established: control and treatment. The control group received teacher-centered…

Ensign, Todd I. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Educational robotics (ER) combines accessible and age-appropriate building materials, programmable interfaces, and computer coding to teach science and mathematics using the engineering design process. ER has been shown to increase K-12 students' understanding of STEM concepts, and can develop students' self-confidence and interest in STEM. As…
