Robotics in the developmental teaching of physics students as a technology improving stem education

This article proposes a methodology for implementing STEM education using developmental learning technologies and robotics elements in the training of physics students in engineering and the pedagogical specialties of higher education institutions. A technology has been developed based on the use of the Arduino hardware and software complex and the TinkerCAD online simulator, which allows for the comprehensive formation of STEM competencies through developmental learning based on robotics in the process of teaching physics to students of higher engineering and pedagogical education. This study confirms the introduction of STEM technologies into higher education institutions’ educational processes. It is proved that developmental learning technologies contribute to the implementation of STEM education in higher education. The role of the teacher as a mentor in the process of implementing STEM technologies is also outlined. Prospects for the use of robotic systems in the study of physics by higher education students are presented.
