Yuan, Jiangmei; Kim, ChanMin; Vasconcelos, Lucas; Shin, Min Young; Gleasman, Cory; Umutlu, Duygu – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2022
Engineering design provides students with an authentic context to apply science and mathematics to solving problems and motivates them to learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Thus, teachers need to experience and become familiar with engineering design. However, little is known about how preservice teachers…

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…

Leonard, Jacqueline; Mitchell, Monica; Barnes-Johnson, Joy; Unertl, Adrienne; Outka-Hill, Jill; Robinson, Roland; Hester-Croff, Carla – Journal of Teacher Education, 2018
This article examines teacher preparation and teacher change in engineering and computer science education. We examined culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy (CRTSE), culturally responsive teaching outcome expectancy (CRTOE) beliefs, and attitudes toward computational thinking (CT) as teachers participated in one of three treatment groups:…

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…

Chahine, Iman Chafik; Robinson, Norman; Mansion, Kimbeni – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
This exploratory case study reports findings on 20 middle-level science and mathematics teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of a one-year project in which teachers engaged in using robotics and engineering design inquiries in their classrooms. Principled by Bandura's Social Learning Theory (SLT) and using mixed methods approaches, the study…

Mein, Erika; Convertino, Christina – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2022
In this article, we draw on sociocultural perspectives on literacy to explore the ways in which pre-engineering students took up and made sense of engineering notebooks implemented as part of a robotics project in a first-semester university study course at a large, public Hispanic-Serving Institution. Through ethnographic methods, we uncovered…

Sun, Yulong; Chang, Chun-Hao; Chiang, Feng-Kuang – Educational Technology & Society, 2022
Previous studies on the topic of "Problem solving" indicate it's one of the skills of students in the 21st century that educational robots can effectively support. Additionally, there are gender differences in the problem-solving process. Understanding the problem-solving process and using knowledge to solve problems is key to improving…
