Construction and Teaching of Hydrobot by Future Teachers, in order to fulfill scientific literacy’s goals.
Summary:
Over the past few years STEM education is a national priority for many countries for reasons that are mainly related to the economy of nations. Hydrobot Program is a STEM program brought to Greece by the Eugenides Foundation and is the Greek version of the SeaPerch Program, which was created by the MIT Sea Grant College Program in 2003. Hydrobot is a simple remote-controlled underwater which students build the ROV from a kit comprised of low-cost, easily accessible parts. In Greece the program has not yet been implemented yet by primary school pupils or teachers.
In the present study attempted a short-term training course for future teachers of Primary Education in the Hydrobot program has been attempted. By using quantitative tools we investigated a) the ability of participants to built Hydrobot and b) their self-efficacy beliefs in guiding students into the construction of Hydrobot. In addition, we investigated whether these future teachers were able to propose ways of incorporating Hydrobot in teaching, in order to fulfill scientific literacy’s goals, that focus on real-context science-related situations, and conducted context analysis on their answers.
