“…10. LEGO was used to solve STEM problem-solving tasks such as building bridges (Convertini, 2021), robots (Chiang et al, 2020), and challengespecific game boards (Leonard et al, 2018). Furthermore, four out of 36 studies did not specify the robots used in their studies.…”

Fostering students’ competence in applying interdisciplinary knowledge to solve problems has been recognized as an important and challenging issue globally. This is why STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education has been emphasized at all levels in schools. Meanwhile, the use of robotics has played an important role in STEM learning design. The purpose of this study was to fill a gap in the current review of research on Robotics-based STEM (R-STEM) education by systematically reviewing existing research in this area. This systematic review examined the role of robotics and research trends in STEM education. A total of 39 articles published between 2012 and 2021 were analyzed. The review indicated that R-STEM education studies were mostly conducted in the United States and mainly in K-12 schools. Learner and teacher perceptions were the most popular research focus in these studies which applied robots. LEGO was the most used tool to accomplish the learning objectives. In terms of application, Technology (programming) was the predominant robotics-based STEM discipline in the R-STEM studies. Moreover, project-based learning (PBL) was the most frequently employed learning strategy in robotics-related STEM research. In addition, STEM learning and transferable skills were the most popular educational goals when applying robotics. Based on the findings, several implications and recommendations to researchers and practitioners are proposed.

“…Interviews for each person ranged from 20 to 50 mins, amounting to 3.6 h in total. All interviews were recorded with the participants' permission, which were then transcribed through ifyrec (https://www.iflyrec.com/), a webpage that can transcribe audio recordings into texts (Chiang et al, 2020). The researcher then validated the recordings by listening to the recordings and comparing them with the transcribed texts.…”

Exploring Chinese EFL Learners' Achievement Emotions and Their Antecedents in an Online English Learning Environment

2021

Drawing on the control-value theory, this study adopted a qualitative approach to explore the various achievement emotions Chinese EFL learners experienced in an online English learning environment and their antecedents during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Data were collected from six Chinese EFL students through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals supplemented with their class notes. Thematic analysis was performed using the qualitative data management software NVivo 12 plus. Results showed that the students experienced diverse emotions such as enjoyment, relaxation, anxiety, guilt, boredom and helplessness. Apart from the environmental antecedents of teacher and peer factors and individual antecedents of control-value appraisals, four novel antecedents were identified which had influence on emotions experienced in the online learning context, including environmental antecedents of internet connection and workload outside classroom, as well as the individual antecedents of students' self-regulation of learning behavior and learning environment.

“…As a mainstream robotic competition, the WRO has been successfully held 16 sessions, attracted students, parents, and coaches from more than 85 countries and regions. Robotic competitions are undoubtedly an effective venue for the application of robotics in STEM education and have helped cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability [5]. One study reported that such competitions provided school-age children with unique and essential learning opportunities [6].…”

<p style="text-indent:20px;">The integration of robotics education with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has a great potential in future education. In recent years, numerous countries have hosted robotic competitions. This study uses a mixed research method to explore the coaches' views on student participation in the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) by incorporating the questionnaire surveys and interviews conducted at the 2019 WRO finals in Hungary. By quantitative and qualitative analyses, coaches generally agreed that participation in the WRO improved students' STEM learning skills and cultivated their patience and resilience in handling challenging tasks.</p>
