Research Abstract

Programming robots to navigate mazes using a virtual reality environment for communication is not effective for teaching scientific reasoning. A real world task to determine how the robots functioned resulted in significantly higher numbers of hypotheses formation and warrants. Bloom's Digital Taxonomy should be used as metrics for science learning.
