Brainstorm Boffins® Robotic STEAM Curriculum delivers structured content, facilitating the mastery of critical STEAM skills.
Through our structured, educational technology-rich Robotic STEAM Curriculum we aim to facilitate student engagement. Cognitive, affective and behavioural engagement are the three widely accepted dimensions of student engagement. Cognitive engagement relates to deep learning strategies, self-regulation and understanding; affective engagement relates to positive reactions to the learning environment, peers and teachers, as well as their sense of belonging and interest; and behavioural engagement relates to participation, persistence and positive conduct.
Research shows when curriculum content is relevant and challenging, and taught using active and collaborative learning techniques, it is highly effective at promoting student engagement.
The outcomes of student engagement include increased discipline specific knowledge and higher order thinking skills, increased motivation, enhanced sense of belonging and wellbeing, improved relationships through peer-to-peer learning and collaboration, enhanced personal development, and increased involvement in the wider educational community.
