The Effects Of Integrating Lego Robotics Into A Mathematics Curriculum To Promote The Development Of Proportional Reasoning, Shelli L. Casler-Failing

Proceedings of the Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (Archived)

A mixed methods, action research case study was conducted to investigate the effects of incorporating LEGO robotics into a seventh-grade mathematics curriculum focused on the development of proportional reasoning through the lens of Social Constructivist Theory. This study applied students’ prior knowledge of the distance, rate, and time formula as they used LEGO EV3 robots to calculate the rate of a robot.

Autism Intervention: Positive Support With A Relationship-Based, Developmental Model, David Graham Nelson, David Graham Nelson

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Individuals with challenges in relating and communicating, including those diagnosed with autism and other developmental disorders, have long been treated primarily with behavior management and skill development approaches. Dr. Stanley Greenspan's developmental, individual-difference, relationship-based (DIR/Floortime) approach to these challenges provides a comprehensive developmental model and effective intervention techniques, and is supported by a solid base of research. This approach helps parents to become a central part of the intervention work with their child, and provides professionals with meaningful ways to foster communication, emotional, and cognitive development in children at risk. This approach can be applied in educational settings, in private …
