Abstract

This research aimed to explore the influence of a robotic program using the robot kit "RoboBuilder RQ+110" on students' attitudes toward effective communication. The study used a quantitative research design and involved 475 grade 4 (10 years old) students from Malaysia's Selangor and Malacca states. A quasi-experimental research (pre-test & post-test) approach with control and experimental groups was adopted, and the data were analyzed with inferential statistical test and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS 25 software at 0.05 significance level. Questionnaires were administered to collect data from the experimental and control groups. The results showed statistically significant changes (α ≤ .05) in attitudes toward effective communication for the experimental group that received a robotics program compared with the control group. The study results suggest that innovative technological tools or programs such as robotics programs are recommended as innovative science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program rooted in constructivism to improve students' attitudes toward effective communication.

机器人课程对学生有效沟通态度的影响

本研究旨在探讨使用机器人套件 "RoboBuilder RQ+110 "的机器人程序对学生有效沟通态度的影响。研究采用定量研究设计，涉及来自马来西亚雪兰莪州和马六甲州的 475 名四年级（10 岁）学生。研究采用了对照组和实验组的准实验研究（前测和后测）方法，并使用 SPSS 25 软件在 0.05 的显著性水平上对数据进行了推断统计检验和重复测量方差分析（ANOVA）。对实验组和对照组进行了问卷调查以收集数据。结果表明，与对照组相比，接受机器人项目的实验组在有效沟通的态度上发生了显著变化（α ≤ .05）。研究结果表明，建议将机器人项目等创新技术工具或项目作为扎根于建构主义的创新科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）项目，以改善学生对有效沟通的态度。
