The perspective of STEM education through the usage of Robotics

摘要

Educational robotics is a transformative tool for learning, computational thinking, coding, and engineering, all of which are increasingly seen as essential components of STEM curriculum in schools. Although robots in education for school-age children has been around since the late 1900s and is becoming more popular among young pupils, it is not fully incorporated as a technology learning aid in traditional classroom settings. Numerous studies have recommended numerous hands-on robotics activities based on constructivist ideas, promoting the formation of knowledge based on reality for scientific and non-scientific stakeholders. Robotics may become an important focal point within technology provision, which is an important underlying attribute for the seminal development of computational thinking (CT). Despite the potential value of CT in strengthening a person's problem-solving skills, ways for improving this capacity through hands-on robotics activities are little unexplored. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the relevance of incorporating educational robotics as a technological learning tool into regular curriculum for students and to show how it helps students prepare for the future.
