Their primary objective was to assess the impactof this application on the performance and the level of motivation of elementary students.They used a four-stage experimental procedure involving a pre-test, a post-test, a set oflearning activities, and a survey questionnaire to assess the effectiveness of their system.The participants were assigned to either the proposed learning system or a PowerPoint-based learning system (control group). Based on their results, the students who used therobot-based learning system demonstrated more improvement in their performance

There has been much debate in recent years that traditional engineering education,however, does not adequately prepare the new graduates to face the ever-changing demands oftechnological societies. In a survey of engineering employers, conducted by Todd et al.4, thefollowing frequently-cited perceptions of

Taking advantage of the concern for technology education expressed above and the need for credentialed educators in the K-12 programs for teaching science, math and computer programming, it is natural to consider a clear credential program in Industrial and Technology Education to help meet the shortfall of math and science teachers existing today.
