Makers at School, Educational Robotics and Innovative Learning Environments

This open access book contains observations, outlines, and analyses of educational robotics methodologies and activities, and developments in the field of educational robotics emerging from the findings presented at FabLearn Italy 2019, the international conference that brought together researchers, teachers, educators and practitioners to discuss the principles of Making and educational robotics in formal, non-formal and informal education. The editors’ analysis of these extended versions of papers presented at FabLearn Italy 2019 highlight the latest findings on learning models based on Making and educational robotics. The authors investigate how innovative educational tools and methodologies can support a novel, more effective and more inclusive learner-centered approach to education. The following key topics are the focus of discussion: Makerspaces and Fab Labs in schools, a maker approach to teaching and learning; laboratory teaching and the maker approach, models, methods and instruments; curricular and non-curricular robotics in formal, non-formal and informal education; social and assistive robotics in education; the effect of innovative spaces and learning environments on the innovation of teaching, good practices and pilot projects

Critical Thinking Skills Profile of High School Students In Learning Science-Physics

This study aims to describe Critical Thinking Skills high school students in the city of Makassar. To achieve this goal, the researchers conducted an analysis of student test results of 200 people scattered in six schools in the city of Makassar. The results of the quantitative descriptive analysis of the data found that the average value of students doing the interpretation, analysis, and inference in a row by 1.53, 1.15, and 1.52. This value is still very low when compared with the maximum value that may be obtained by students, that is equal to 10.00. This shows that the critical thinking skills of high school students are still very low. One fact Competency Standards science subjects-Physics is demonstrating the ability to think logically, critically, and creatively with the guidance of teachers and demonstrate the ability to solve simple problems in daily life. In fact, according to Michael Scriven stated that the main task of education is to train students and or students to think critically because of the demands of work in the global economy, the survival of a democratic and personal decisions and decisions in an increasingly complex society needs people who can think well and make judgments good. Therefore, the need for teachers in the learning device scenario such as: driving question or problem, authentic Investigation: Science Processes

An interrelated approach to teaching mathematics in secondary schools

This thesis is primarily concerned with the production and evaluation of ideas and materials, based upon an interrelated approach to teaching, which is aimed at arousing curiosity and interest in pupils in secondary schools from the age of fourteen upwards. A case is presented for the consideration of such an approach and a brief account given of how early ideas were formulated. These ideas resulted in the establishment of positive guidelines and strategies upon which the research was to be based. Much emphasis is placed on the significance of effective and attractive written materials for pupils with one chapter being specifically aimed at outlining important aspects of general module preparation. The thesis presents in some detail evaluations of trials carried out with groups of students studying a variety of topics involving mathematical principles. It attempts to describe the successes and failures of various modules of study devised during the research programme and takes special account of comments made by pupils and staff who participated in trials. With the recommendation for a new approach to teaching, effective in-service training of teachers is an essential exercise. Various in-service training programmes organised for teachers and ideas produced during these sessions by enthusiastic, stimulated participants are reported. In addition, the thesis contains proposals for the establishment of a professional centre for mathematical education in schools and colleges within Leicestershire where ideas produced from research projects such as this can be extended, developed fully and subsequently disseminated in an effective manner. In conclusion, the achievements of the research programme are discussed and recommendations and suggestions made for wider use of the interrelated approach to teaching in secondary schools
