Project-based learning with arduino robots: impact on undergraduate students' achievement and task persistence in robotics programming.
Article in Frontiers in robotics and AI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Programming is a fundamental skill in the 21st century, yet there is a global shortage of skilled programmers for high-tech jobs. This study determined the effects of Project-Based Arduino Robot Application (PARA) on undergraduate students' achievement and task persistence in robotics programming. Methods: The quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study. A sample of 74 second-year computer and robotics education students from three intact classes in three tertiary institutions offering robotics programming II were selected forthe study. Results and Discussion: PARA improved the academic achievement of students in robotics programming (63.00 ± 16.81) more than the conventional method, which uses Interactive PowerPoint (IPP) (43.79 ± 12.07). PARA improved the task persistence of students in robotics programming (73.75 ± 13.46) more than the conventional method (40.00 ± 13.70). Male students taught robotics programming using PARA had a slightly higher mean achievement score (69.60 ± 11.50) than their female counterparts (52.00 ± 19.43). Female students taught robotics programming using PARA had a slightly higher mean task persistence score (78.67 ± 11.96) than their male counterparts (70.80 ± 14.02). There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in students' mean achievement scores based on the instruction method used in teaching robotics programming, among others. These findings have implications for instructing students who find robotics programming difficult and abstract.
