Fred G. Martin · Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing · 2007
ABSTRACT—This paper presents a set of learning stories of student work on robotics projects. The stories illustrate key components of student learning, including demonstrations of: (1) an “emergent curriculum ” of central ideas in robotics that are embedded in the materials that students work with and the projects they undertake; (2) self-directed learning and student autonomy in which students
