Robotics Instruction Through the Use if Artificial Intelligence Tools in Marian Learning Center and Science Highschool, Inc.

Abstract

This study explored the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in Grade 6 robotics education and examined how these tools influenced classroom instruction, student learning strategies, engagement, collaboration, and enrichment opportunities. Data were collected from teachers and students through interviews, observations, and reflective responses, focusing on learning content, classroom activities, assessment practices, and AI-supported projects. Findings indicate that AI tools enhanced learning content by providing personalized, adaptive, and clearly structured guidance, enabling students to understand programming concepts, sequencing, and troubleshooting more effectively. Classroom activities became more interactive and collaborative, as AI-supported real-time feedback encouraged experimentation, peer learning, and inquiry-based problem-solving. Assessment practices were improved through immediate, actionable feedback that allowed learners to correct errors, reflect on outcomes, and track progress systematically. Students reported increased engagement, motivation, self-directed learning, and confidence in tackling robotics tasks. Collaboration skills were strengthened through AI-supported group work, fostering communication, teamwork, and collective problem-solving. Additionally, AI provided opportunities for advanced challenges, creative experimentation, and iterative learning without fear of mistakes. The study recommends regular AI integration, student utilization of AI tools, administrative support, and further research to maximize instructional benefits. Overall, AI-supported robotics instruction promotes learner-centered, strategic, and skill-oriented experiences, preparing students for 21st-century competencies.
