EDU 6441 - Robotics in K-12 Education


Credit(s): 3

Since the early theorists in cognitive science pointed out the importance of having students actively construct knowledge through their own experiences, educators have been seeking ways to create constructivist learning environments. This, coupled with the recent emphasis on STEM education, has opened the door for learning environments that focus on robotics. A robotics curriculum can aid in preparing students for success in the emerging economy and are highly effective in developing collaboration and
teamwork as well as self-confidence through a sense of accomplishment. This course will focus on the history of constructivism and STEM education, tools that can be used to build a robotics curriculum and effective teaching and evaluation strategies selected to deliver the curriculum.
