Evaluating a design-based learning approach using IoT technologies for STEM education

This paper presents an evaluation methodology suitable for a design- based learning approach with the Internet of Things technologies for teaching STEM courses. It also aims to evaluate the learning outcomes that such teaching interventions bring to students. The particular ed- ucational approach to be evaluated is an ongoing research topic, focus- ing on IoT sensor data used in school education, for understanding and raising awareness for aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to assess the impact of incorporating this proposal for IoT based teaching interven- tions in the subjects of Physics, Informatics and Electronics into the regular curriculum of Greek secondary education, as well as to add to the field literature.
