Abstract

This chapter shows how constructivist learning theory and robotics education work together to create dynamic, student-centered learning environments. Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky's constructivism stresses active learning via exploration and hands-on experience. Robotics encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork by applying real-world STEM concepts. The chapter addresses how robotics may teach 21st-century abilities, including creativity, adaptability, and teamwork. It also looks at how robotics makes transdisciplinary learning easier and more meaningful. To guarantee equitable implementation, robotics education must address accessibility, inclusion, and teacher preparedness despite its many benefits. Robotics in constructivist education can bridge theory and practice, making learning more engaging and successful. This chapter emphasizes the necessity of providing instructors with resources and professional development to maximize robots' educational potential, preparing pupils for future technological challenges and creating a lifetime love of learning.
