本文报告了一项试点研究，该研究考察了在课外计划中使用基于机器人的科学技术课程来提高9-11岁青少年的成绩。这项研究检查并比较了机器人干预青少年和控制组青少年的前测和后测分数。结果表明，机器人干预的青少年在后测中的平均分有显著提高，而控制组在前测和后测中的得分没有显著变化。此外，研究结果表明，用于测量成绩的评价工具对本研究来说是有效和可靠的。
This paper reports on a pilot study that examined the use of a science and technology curriculum based on robotics to increase the achievement scores of youth ages 9-11 in an after school program. The study examined and compared the pretest and posttest scores of youth in the robotics intervention with youth in a control group. The results revealed that youth in the robotics intervention had a significant increase in mean scores on the posttest and that the control group had no significant change in scores from the pretest to the posttest. In addition, the results of the study indicated that the evaluation instrument used to measure achievement was valid and reliable for this study.
