We are of theopinion that the multidisciplinary nature of our programs (all four elements of STEM) arebeneficial. Preliminary course surveys and measurements of math anxiety and teaching self-efficacy indicate that the integrated STEM teacher candidates do experience substantialimprovements over the course of their curriculum.IntroductionOur institution supports two Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)teacher preparation programs.

quantify the effects that ERs have on students in these settings, by describing how well theyprovide instruction to students. The quality of these programs will be judged by the results ofstudies gathered in a literature review. The collected literature will also be used to define globaltrends in the current applications of ERs and in how educational tools are developing. Tocompliment this literature review, a survey will be distributed to instructors of robotics clubs inhigh schools to see if these programs align with global trends found in the literature review.Other goals of this study include identifying platforms and teaching methods that deserve moreattention for research and what platforms, tools, and methods have become outdated.1
