She also recommends Wonder Workshop, with which Black Girls Dive has partnered in the past and which provides its Learn to Code curriculum for kindergarten to fifth-grade teachers and students and an applied robotics curriculum for grades six to eight for purchase. The site also offers free apps...
An exploratory, descriptive case study was conducted to better understand the experiences of 4th grade inservice teacher partners co-designing and implementing a robotics event serving over 100 4th grade students, along with the experiences of preservice teachers facilitating the event....
The growing significance of coding in 21st-century early childhood education extends beyond technical proficiency, encompassing cognitive development, problem-solving, and creativity. Coding is being integrated globally into educational curricula to prepare students for the digital era. This research examines ...
The stereotype of boys being better than girls at robotics and coding exists from the young age of 6-years-old (Master, Cheryan, Moscatelli, & Meltzoff, 2017). A possible reason why they split the roles during their collaboration is that the girls were less confident; in addition, none ...
Existing computer games used to teach coding to students have certain shortcomings such as the use of icons that do not convert to actual text-based coding commands, and the fact that teachers cannot follow students’ progress in real time. In this study
In our approach, we adopt the term “academic engagement” (Turner, Christensen, Kackar-Cam, Trucano, & Fulmer, 2014) to describe how the students were involved in and put effort into learning, understanding, and collaborating with their peers. Engagement during educational activities has many ...
Teachers can use theRobotslesson to captivate students by showcasing their prevalence in everyday life through various examples. Students will gain an understanding of the definition of a robot, explore familiar instances of robotics in their daily experiences, and contemplate future advancements and po...
and robotics, Web 2.0 tools, and web-based applications have been developed to support children’s coding skills. These studies have revealed that children can acquire coding skills early on. However, it is essential to examine how coding skills contribute to children’s other developmental areas ...
(2019b) adopted a Model-Lead-Test (MLT) framework to instruct a student with ASD and severe behavioral issues in robotics coding. Their findings revealed a functional relationship between the employed instructional method and skill acquisition, as the student was able to maintain and generalize thes...
Researchers have concentrated on cultivating the aptitude of students in robotics and other domains that demand computer science and engineering skills [3]. However, the use of traditional programming languages in education, with their strict syntax rules, has led to a loss of interest in ...
