STEM Education with Robotics
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-36757-6 (ISBN)
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.
Purvee Chauhan earned a Master's in Education degree from Harvard University, USA, with a focus on Technology and Innovation. She has 10 years of field-experience in the education sector, has held global impact positions in organizations such as New York University (NYU), Teach for India, and The Nalanda Project, and is currently an Instructional Designer at ASCD, one of the largest education non-profits in the United States. Vikram Kapila is a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, USA, where he directs a Mechatronics, Controls, and Robotics Lab. His current research is focused on the convergence of frontier technologies (e.g., robotics, artificial intelligence, augmented/virtual reality, and blockchain) with applications to human-robot interaction, digital health, and STEM education.
