Autonomous Robots and Educational motivation: The impact of combining educational robotics with simulations on learners' Technical and scientific skills

20251 citationIbn Tofail University

Abstract

Teaching and indoctrinating technological and scientific concepts face several obstacles in scientific and technical subjects, negatively impacting students' academic performance. To address these challenges and enhance the understanding of technological concepts, Morocco's Ministry of Education has launched a new industrial technology program that encourages the use of robots as teaching aids to improve educational efficiency and learning outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of combining educational robotics with computer-assisted simulations on the motivation and learning of industrial technology students. We divided 168 secondary school students into two groups: one used a model combining educational robot manipulation with simulation, while the other used traditional simulations. The results indicate that integrating educational robots significantly improves overall academic performance, especially in teaching complex technological concepts. This study provides valuable insights for improving teaching practices and supports the integration of educational robotics into science education in Morocco.
