Abstract

This study analyses the skills promoted through the STEM and educational robotics programmes offered by the 21+ Skills Laboratory of the Institute of Educational Policy. The aim of the research is to identify the specific skills developed through these programs and evaluate their effectiveness in promoting 21st century skills. The study uses a quantitative methodological approach, which includes survey and questionnaire completion by participants’ teachers of the programmes and analysis of the programme materials. The findings suggest that the examined programmes are effective in promoting a range of skills such as problem solving, collaboration and digital literacy, but not so effective in promoting other skills. The study concludes with recommendations for further research and program development to enhance the effectiveness of STEM and educational robotics programs in promoting 21st century skills.
