- Abstract
- This study was designed to gauge teacher perspectives on student learning outcomes for three common science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs. Lego Robotics, website development and model bridge building were compared in an effort to understand the impact of different components of STEM programs on student learning outcomes. Key variables that were studied were student motivation, engagement, collaboration and independent learning. In addition, the value of a program to teach skills that were likely to lead to future STEM success was discussed. Results indicated that Lego Robotics programs were significantly better at providing positive educational outcomes for a variety of measures when compared to other STEM programs.
