Blended Learning to Increase Math Success through Robotic Applications
▶Summary
We applied for this project because mathematics education is a crucial sector in education that enhances social integration, supports scientific studies, boosts individual self-confidence, and ope...
▶Objectives
By implementing this project, we aimed to reduce the mathematics anxiety of primary school students. We sought to educate pre-service teachers and primary school teachers on how to teach mathematics engagingly through robotics applications. Additionally, the project was designed to enhance professional development through the creation of a scenario-based video library and an e-book, resources that could be utilized both during their studies and after graduation. The main objectives of this project were: 1. To develop innovative methods and techniques aimed at reducing math anxiety in primary schools. 2. To increase pre-service teachers' awareness of educational practices capable of eliminating math anxiety. 3. To mitigate future challenges that prospective teachers may face. 4. To create an easy-to-learn and easy-to-teach scenario-based library of robotics applications for teaching mathematics. 5. To produce a reference book on robotics applications in mathematics teaching that could be perpetually useful for prospective teachers in blended learning environments. 6. To inspire elementary school students to pursue careers in scientific fields. 7. To equip students with innovative and creative thinking skills.
