STEM EDUCATION: SIMPLE ROBOT VACUUM CLEANER BASED ON THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
STEM education is an integrated teaching perspective in which students expericence, learn, explore and research practical problems. In STEM education content, robotics is a modern field that has been concerned in many research projects because of the positive impact on student’s interest, thinking and abilities. This article presents a STEM robotics topic for 8th graders– robot vacuum cleaner. This topic is designed based on the engineering design process to enhance design thinking and problem-solving skills. Experimental results for 8th graders illustrate that they can access and accquire knowledge as well as show positive expression of problem-solving abilities in STEM robotics through this topic.
