Verner, Igor M.; Perez, Huberth; Lavi, Rea – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
Student engagement has been described as active involvement in a learning activity that significantly affects learning achievement. This study investigated student engagement in robotics education, considering it as an instant emotional reaction on interaction with the teacher, the peers, and the robotic environment. The objective was to…

Jackson, Andrew; Mentzer, Nathan; Kramer-Bottiglio, Rebecca – Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Background: There is a well-known gender disparity in the engineering field. Three of the most important factors related to the participation of women in engineering are differences in perceived societal relevance, technical self-efficacy, and tinkering self-efficacy. Purpose/Hypothesis: Soft robotics is a relatively new engineering application…

Jung, Sung Eun; Lee, Kyunghwa – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
Drawing on Bakhtin's (Discourse in the novel, University of Texas Press, 1981) notions of dialogism and appropriation, this case study explored how a 5-year-old Latina named Lucia negotiated the gender discourses involved in designing and building robots. The study findings revealed that Lucia performed her gender by appropriating different gender…

Jackson, Andrew; Mentzer, Nathan; Kramer-Bottiglio, Rebecca – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2020
In the field of technology and engineering education, educators are limited by their inability to predict what is coming; as the saying goes, they are preparing their students for jobs that do not even exist yet. Two adaptive approaches can help prepare students for this uncertainty: (1) teaching broad skills that can be applied in new situations;…

Oh, Michael; Lawson, Finley – School Science Review, 2020
This article proposes an alternative (or additional) place for the use of robotics within the secondary school curriculum. Robotics provides a unique opportunity to engage students in genuinely multidisciplinary learning that challenges their misperceptions about the nature of science/technology and engages them with 'big questions'. After…

Pilot Analysis of the Impacts of Soft Robotics Design on High-School Student Engineering Perceptions
Jackson, Andrew; Mentzer, Nathan; Kramer-Bottiglio, Rebecca – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2019
Engineering career interest, especially that of young women, declines as they approach high-school graduation. We used expectancy-value theory, which emphasizes expectations for success and subjective value of experiences as antecedent factors to choice, as a framework for investigating new 9th grade soft robot design lessons. Compared to…

Soboleva, Elena V.; Karavaev, Nikita L. – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2020
The problem of the research is urgent due to the need to develop a special style of thinking. This type is based on problem cognitive activity, focused on lean production, resource conservation, and supported by an automated system that provides resources for solving socioeconomic problems in the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution and…

Sullivan, Amanda; Bers, Marina Umaschi – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2019
Aim/Purpose: Educational robotics competitions are a popular way to increase students' interest in science and engineering during their K-12 years. However, female students are typically underrepresented in these competitions. The goal of this study is to determine differences in the experiences of male and female robotics competition students in…

Copp, David A.; Isaacs, Jason T.; Hespanha, João P. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2021
Recent changes have been made in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in the United States with the goal of increasing the number of students pursuing degrees and careers in STEM. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) integrate new science and engineering standards in an attempt to achieve this goal and are the…

Castro, Emanuela; Cecchi, Francesca; Valente, Massimiliano; Buselli, Elisa; Salvini, Pericle; Dario, Paolo – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Studies have shown that educational robotics (ER) may impact student learning, especially in relation to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) areas. In the STEM framework, particularly for younger children, the "E" and the "T" are considered to be missing letters, because few studies have concentrated on…

Auerbach, Joshua E.; Concordel, Alice; Kornatowski, Przemyslaw M.; Floreano, Dario – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
It has often been found that students appreciate hands-on work, and find that they learn more with courses that include a project than those relying solely on conventional lectures and tests. This type of project driven learning is a key component of "Inquiry-based learning" (IBL), which aims at teaching methodology as well as content by…
