The Effect of a Classroom-Based Intensive Robotics and Programming Workshop on Sequencing Ability in Early Childhood (2013, background): “…research has shown that children as young as 4 years old can build and program simple robots and that there are many benefits to integrating robotic technologies into the early childhood classroom in developmentally appropriate ways (Bers et al. 2002; Bers 2008, 2010; Rogers and Portsmore 2004).”
Ready for Robotics: Bringing Together the T and E of STEM in Early Childhood Teacher Education. (2013, background): “…as well as storytellers by creating their own meaningful projects that react in response to their environment (Bers, 2008a). robotics can also be a gateway for children to learn about applied mathematical concepts, the scientific method of inquiry, and problem solving (rogers & Portsmore, 2004).”
Empowering technology and engineering for STEM education through programming robots: a systematic literature review (2018, background): “Within this exploration, inspection and manipulation of elements, children also experience interdisciplinary skills and knowledge, mathematical concepts like sequencing, scientific inquiry, and problem solving (Bers, 2010; Bers & Horn, 2010; Kazakoff & Bers, 2012; Rogers & Portsmore, 2004).”
Moving STEM beyond Schools: Students' Perceptions about an Out-of-School STEM Education Program. (2016, methodology): “Sungur Gül and Marulcu (2014) focused on the engineering discipline, worked with preservice and in-service science teachers on engineering design processes and activities using robots and Legos.”
Robotics as Means to Increase Achievement Scores in an Informal Learning Environment (2007, background): “Rogers and Portsmore (2004) also taught young students using robots.”
Advancing students' computational thinking skills through educational robotics: A study on age and gender relevant differences (2016, background): “Robotics is usually seen as an interdisciplinary activity drawing mostly in Science, Mathematics, Informatics and Technology and offering major new benefits to education in general at all levels [7,8].”
