ABSTRACT
Taiwan has implemented the National Twelve-year Basic Education since 2019, and the curriculum focuses on "core literacy", in which independent action, communication and interaction, and social participation echo the educational spirit of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. Moreover, situated learning is an important topic discussed in the National Twelve-year Basic Education curriculum, which can guide students to experience, practice, deepen their thinking, and improve their vision. It is the key to link learning and application. By building knowledge and training skills in this way, learners' learning motivation and learning effectiveness can be improved. In this study, teenagers are taken as the research object, and the integrated STEAM teaching of robot and program education is constructed by combining the education method of micro: Maqueen robot with a graphic control program, in order to promote the integration and innovative application of robot software and hardware, and provide teenagers with opportunities to contact with robots. The implementation results include the teaching design of program-controlled micro: Maqueen, such as the writing of the graphic control program and its ultrasonic application in micro: Maqueen. The ultrasonic application in micro: Maqueen includes the ultrasonic automatic obstacle avoidance function, ultrasonic distance measurement function, and ultrasonic following function, which aim to cultivate students' logical thinking, problem-solving ability, and other high-level thinking ability, and stimulate students' sustainable development in the field of information technology
