A REVIEW OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STEM EDUCATION IN THE USA BASED ON ROBOTICS

摘要

The article provides an overview of the implementation of STEM education in the United States based on robotics, as part of the latest innovations in the educational environment of the United States. STEM education is important for the development of basic, professional and social skills that are key to academic achievement and readiness for work in the 21st century. Technology in teaching STEM subjects refers to tools that make abstract ideas more concrete and accessible through experiential learning. These robotic technologies provide a dynamic presentation of STEM systems to improve students' mastery of complex concepts. Based on a thorough analysis of scientific, pedagogical and regulatory sources, key periods of development of the use of technology in education and the related processes of building the STEM education industry in the United States are highlighted. It was found that the emergence of technologies involves their introduction into the learning process of the lesson, and requires a profound change in the provision of education, a new concept regarding the “role of technology in education”, which defines a constructivist view of learning as “building knowledge structures” by creating new knowledge. Educational robotics in STEM education is considered cross-thematic and facilitates the assimilation of educational material by students in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Educational robotics provides schoolchildren and students with the opportunity to explore how virtual and engineering technologies work in real life, find new ways of working together, develop cooperation skills, express themselves using a technological tool, introduces students to a part of mathematical scientific thinking and can be a gateway to the study of applied mathematical disciplines and scientific concepts. It was determined that robotic technologies provide a dynamic presentation of the STEM system to improve students' assimilation of complex concepts, and help optimize the educational process. The US government's support for integrating technology into robotics STEM education plays a key role in providing practical knowledge and preparing students for future careers in the global job market.
