Synopsis

This book offers a synthesis of research, curriculum examples, pedagogy models, and classroom recommendations for the effective use of robotics in STEM teaching and learning. Authors Chauhan and Kapila demonstrate how the use of educational robotics can catalyze and enhance student learning and understanding within the STEM disciplines.

The book explores the implementation of design-based research (DBR); technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK); and the 5E instructional model; among others. Chapters draw on a variety of pedagogical scaffolds to help teachers deploy educational robotics for classroom use, including research-driven case studies, strategies, and standards-aligned lesson plans from real-life settings.

This book will benefit STEM teachers, STEM teacher educators, and STEM education researchers.
