Robotics education : VEX V5 robotics and VEXcode as tools for learning STEM specifically science and engineering

Abstract

This research includes several lesson plans for instructors using VEX V5 and VEXcode to teach STEM in the classroom while allowing students to create real-world constructs based on their interests. The lecture arrangements are provided comprehensively throughout this document. The contribution of this paper is the presentation of three suggested instructional plans: an 18-week plan, a 12-week plan, and a 6-week plan. This paper contains twelve activities with detailed information, objective, and preparation. Also provided are the suggested teaching schedule and teaching order for the activities. This study's lesson plans have the potential to serve as a foundation for future research on the use of VEX V5 robots in a variety of educational disciplines. This study integrates a review of the relevant prior literature research and a step by step approach including literature review and expert interviews methodologies to produce highly objective results. In addition, well-defined analytic approaches are used to systematically evaluate references to develop a comprehensive assessment of the STEM education teaching plan. The following comprehensive lesson plans and activities are available to any educator or educational institution interested in using VEX V5 to teach STEM-related subjects. This paper may reduce the time spent on lesson preparation, and the educator can get an early start by using the supplied materials immediately.
