Abstract

The advantages of including electromagnetic radiation interaction in the high school curriculum are thoroughly analyzed in this work. The possible effects on students' knowledge of fundamental physics ideas and their capacity to apply these ideas in practical situations are investigated in this study. The study underlines the need to arm pupils with a thorough knowledge of electromagnetic radiation by analyzing the present educational scene and high school science teachers' difficulties. The methods used in this paper include a critical review of the literature with a qualitative approach, an examination of educational impacts, a discussion of practical applications, an analysis of future implications, and educational recommendations. Moreover, the conversation will cover the possible consequences for academic interests and future professional paths for students with a strong background in this field. Using critical analysis of current literature and instructional strategies, this paper seeks to promote a more solid way to teach electromagnetic radiation interaction at the high school level. Therefore, the article will lead readers through a rational sequence of ideas and data to support this significant educational project.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the application of STEM as a learning tool in preschool education, focusing on creating engaging and effective teaching experiences. The research was conducted in a kindergarten in Greece, involving 44 students from both morning and full-day sections. The study employed a didactic intervention themed around Christmas, utilizing Beebot, an educational robot, to facilitate six activities over one week. These activities were designed to maintain children's interest by embedding them in a topical and meaningful context, encouraging critical thinking and teamwork. The research method involved hands-on activities where children operated Beebot to complete missions, fostering their digital skills and collaborative abilities. The intervention aimed to introduce young learners to abstract concepts through concrete experiences, enhancing their understanding of magnetism, number sequences, and environmental awareness. The study also emphasized the importance of teamwork, as children worked in groups to achieve common goals, thereby improving their social skills and learning performance. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that integrating STEM activities in early childhood education is imperative for developing critical thinking and adaptability in young learners. Educational robotics, like Beebot, proved to be an effective tool in creating an engaging learning environment, paving the way for the development of future flexible and innovative citizens.
