The use of Drones in Education in the context of mobile learning and STEM education

The aim of this study is the examination on the use of drones and mobile learning applications from in service teachers, that relies on a STEM-based scenario. Furthermore, usability, self-efficacy, spatial presence as well as simulator sickness of drones for teaching and learning were examined. The sample consisted of 176 in-service primary and secondary education teachers that prior to participating in the study, attended an educational seminar regarding the drone’s technological and educational use cases. The STEM-based scenario was developed based on Engineering Design Process and included solving a real-world problem. Two pre-assembled quadcopter drones were used in the study, namely DJI Tello educational drone as well as DJI Avata First-Person view drone kit. The STEM-based scenario required that the teachers fly the later drone using its dedicated joystick and head mounted displays in order to collect data and find the optimal route. Then, the teachers had to use a tablet and the mobile application droneblocks to create a block-based code for the Tello drone in order to complete the STEM-based scenario. Quantitative data was collected using four scales namely Systems Usability Scale, Self-Efficacy in Human Robot Interaction, Temple Presence Inventory Spatial Presence and lastly Simulator Sickness Questionnaire. Additionally, qualitative data was collected with 39 semi-structured interviews and participant comments to an open-ended question. Lastly, data was collected from the block-based code that was developed. Results from both quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed that the teachers do in fact recognize both drones’ usability and spatial presence and they also feel confident in using the drone on their own. Simulator Sickness scored low on both drones and based in SOLO analysis most of the teachers managed to successfully code the drone. These findings will contribute to a better understanding of the educational value of drones for STEM teaching and, at the same time, provide a base-layer for future research in using drones for educational purposes.
