Abstract

Abstract: Learning robots make it possible to teach science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in a new and exciting way. Robotics provides a tangible and practical way for students to apply theoretical concepts from STEM subjects. Students can physically build, program, and interact with robots, leading to a deeper understanding of complex concepts. Purpose: This paper is an evaluation of the usability of educational robots in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education in teaching undergraduate students. Methods: A questionnaire based on the principles of usability according to ISO-9241 and the USE questionnaire proposed by Lund (2001), which examines usability. The evaluation criteria are effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction, and ease of use. Results: According to the findings of 70 students who participated in the study, educational robots used in education today are quickly finding their place. They provide a new opportunity to improve the effectiveness of training and achieve better results. It is important when designing robotics programs to consider the usability of the robots to be used.
