Abstract
Considering Gen Z's learning needs, primarily focusing on bachelor IT students, a STEAM-based methodology was developed and tested for teaching and learning the principal properties of the cardioid curve. The four-component methodology is based on visuality and combines frontal teaching techniques with educational robotics, dynamic geometry software and project-based learning elements. Interactive learning materials were set up to support independent learning, including tasks which follow the guidelines of recent research on task design. Moreover, a cardioid drawing LEGO robot model was designed and built to visualise the generation process of the curve and to provide first-hand experiences for students. The participants involved in testing the methodology had to solve two homework problems using dynamic geometry software. An assessment system was set up to evaluate students' solutions. After a statistical analysis of the data obtained, it could be concluded that the four-component methodology is an effective didactic technique to facilitate the learning of the cardioid curve.
Keywords: cardioid curve, dynamic geometry software, educational robotics, project-based learning
考虑到 Z 世代的学习需求,主要针对信息技术本科生,我们开发并测试了一种基于 STEAM 的方法,用于教学和学习心形曲线的主要特性。该方法由四部分组成,以可视化为基础,结合了正面教学技术、教育机器人、动态几何软件和基于项目的学习元素。互动学习材料的设置支持学生自主学习,其中包括遵循最新任务设计研究指导方针的任务。此外,还设计并制作了一个心形绘图乐高机器人模型,以直观展示曲线的生成过程,并为学生提供第一手经验。参与方法测试的学员必须使用动态几何软件解决两个家庭作业问题。建立了一个评估系统来评价学生的解决方案。在对所获得的数据进行统计分析后,可以得出结论:四要素方法是促进心形曲线学习的有效教学技巧。关键词:心形曲线;动态几何软件;教育机器人;项目式学习
