MATE-ROV is a competition-based educational robotics (ER) program that can offer experiences in the design, fabrication, and testing of an original ROV similar to what one would experience in relevant sectors of the marine industry. A qualitative case study design was selected to document and analyze participant narratives and explore their sense of belonging within the intragroup and intergroup contexts. With a purposeful sample of 5 (N=5), the study gathered data using a three-phased approach with data collected through the use of questionnaires, interviews and observations. The study sought to answer the overarching research question: How do experiences in educational robotics impact feelings of comfort and belonging for girl participants? Three primary findings emerged from this qualitative study. First, intragroup relationships foster a connected social identity that can support comfort and belonging. Second, a connected social identity does not automatically build a perceived expansiveness in comparable groups. Third, successful domain performance or effectiveness does not compensate for the potential impact of stereotype threat.  \nKeywords  \nCase Study, Social Identity Development, Educational Robotics, MATE-ROV, STEM Capital  \nIntroduction  \nThe Marine Education Advanced Education (MATE) underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) competition, or simply MATE-ROV, is an international program designed to engage participants in technological activity grounded in marine-based disciplines. School-based, educational robotics groups work over an extended period to design and prototype an original ROV-based solution to perform underwater tasks or missions. Each year, new parameters are published in a scope document that outline the limitations where each innovative solution can be quite different. The MATE-ROV program offers a unique opportunity where participants are able to work collaboratively within their local setting but also compete at a regional competition against other schools, a comparable structure to varsity athletic programs. Participants can therefore develop technological capacity and gauge their place within the larger population at competition.  \nCalipso Robotics is one such school-based MATE-ROV program at a small K12 school (student population 155) in eastern Canada. Over the course of three years, an anomaly occurred within the local group whereby the team became all-girl despite being open to boys as well. The phenomenon became more irregular as the group competed at provincial competition as the first all-girl team and even earned top score in the product demonstration in their third year of competition. The following qualitative case study captures their unique narrative as they reflect  \non their sense of comfort and belonging in robotics and their experiences within the local school-based program (intragroup) versus their experiences at competition amid the larger population (intergroup) .  \nLiterature review  \nEducational Robotics (ER) is a means to offer early experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) (Cano, 2022) where participants actively engage in some aspect of designing, prototyping, programming, and controlling a robot. Zuhrie et al. (2021) published a literature review to highlight emergent themes across the field of study. Their review supported two foundational elements common to the majority of ER programs. First, they are based on a project-based learning approach but programs can range from the assembly of a kit to the innovative prototyping of an o","cbCaiap8HqEbvDPD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiap8HqEbvDPD","pdf",387655,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Literature review","[{\"question\":\"What research question guides the study on educational robotics?\",\"answer\":\"The study asks how experiences in educational robotics impact feelings of comfort and belonging for girl participants.\"},{\"question\":\"What methods and sample size were used in the qualitative case study?\",\"answer\":\"A qualitative case study design used a purposeful sample of five participants, with data gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and observations in three phases.\"},{\"question\":\"What key findings emerged from the study?\",\"answer\":\"The results suggest intragroup relationships support comfort and belonging through connected social identity, but connected identity does not automatically create perceived expansiveness, and stereotype threat is not compensated for by success in domain performance.\"}]","Exploring Girls’ Narratives in Competition-Based Educational Robotics | PDF",1792090497,45]
