Analyzing Successful Teaching Practices in Middle School Science and Math Classrooms when using Robotics (Fundamental)1. IntroductionIntegration of robotics technology as a pedagogical tool in science, technology, engineering, andmath (STEM) education is recognized to have the potential to enhance student engagement [1,2]and learning outcomes [1,3]. A curriculum infused with robotics-based learning activities offersnumerous opportunities to enrich STEM education for students (e.g., through problem-solving[1,2,4], service learning [2], social interaction [5], teamwork [3,4], etc.) and it enables teachers tointegrate engineering [1—5], computing [1—5], inquiry [1], and projects [4,5] into science andmath education.

However,further research will be needed to explore those avenues for improving student outcomes.The rubric developed in this study has the potential to be used as an assessment tool in thetechnology education classroom, and therefore this study has implications for demonstratingstudent growth. Specific student abilities could be targeted or the overall success score can be abenchmark for demonstration of student growth using pre- and post-assessments.

engineering education standards: What are the opportunities? Whatare the barriers? He argues that “students should learn concepts such as systems, optimization,and feedback; they should develop the abilities of engineering design and habits of mind [1],”which is exactly what OK Go Sandbox strives to support by connecting learning to theengineering of OK Go’s music videos. The rise of engineering education stemmed fromstandards-based reform; however, common standards across the United States for technology andengineering have not yet been adopted like the Common Core State Standards (mathematics andEnglish language arts) that are used throughout the OK Go Sandbox resources. He adds that “thepower of national standards lies in their potential capacity

Not only is 3D printing a new and exciting technology that can beused to improve student awareness of STEM fields and career opportunities, it has proven to beimpactful in visual spatial applications. With the use of 3D printing becoming more popular inK-12 education, the ability to widely implement these blocks is a very real possibility. All fiveschools in this study had 3D printers available for education-focused activities. In each case, theteachers and administrators were eager to develop activities and curriculum using these orsimilar types of blocks or 3D printed aids.

Structured notebooks are used to helpstudents engage with material at greater depth through analyzing questions, formulatingpredictions, and interpreting results. Notebooks are an important resource for teachers toformatively assess students’ ideas. By incorporating notebooks into classroom instruction andusing them to guide feedback to students, teachers can use notebooks to support student learningof engineering design in STEM integration.This
