Abstract :

Educational technology is finding new ways to attain the attention of students towards science. One of the innovations in teaching science in the integrated classroom at STEAM robotics laboratories. The purpose of the research is to examine the perception of teachers regarding the role of STEAM robotics laboratories in removing boredom from science classrooms. The objectives of the research were to find out teachers’ perception regarding students’ boredom in learning science in the integrated classroom and innovative STEAM robotics and to analyze learners’ interest in learning science through STEAM robotics concerning their teachers at the elementary level. The population was the teachers having experience of teaching science through STEAM robotics and traditional method of learning science in the science classroom. A sample of eighteen teachers was selected by the universal sampling technique. The quantitative research methodology was used and descriptive statistics were for analyses of data. The responses were analyzed through descriptive analysis. The results were concluding by taking the mean of each item. The results showed that the students are participating actively in STEAM robotics classrooms as compared to the traditional method of learning science. The results depicted that STEAM robotics laboratories help increase learner’s interest and remove boredom from science learning.
