An Outcome-Based Learning Analysis of an Integrated Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Curriculum Framework for School Education in the Indian Context

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics are increasingly becoming essential components of modern school education. However, in many educational institutions, these subjects are taught independently, which limits students' ability to understand intelligent systems holistically. This study presents the design, implementation, and outcome-based evaluation of an integrated Artificial Intelligence and Robotics curriculum framework developed specifically for school education in the Indian context. The framework was structured using Outcome-Based Learning (OBL) principles to ensure measurable learning outcomes across cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. The implementation involved hands-on activities integrating AI concepts such as classification, data processing, and decision-making with robotics platforms using sensors and microcontrollers. The effectiveness of the framework was evaluated based on student engagement, conceptual understanding, and practical skill development. The results demonstrate that the integrated approach significantly enhances student learning outcomes compared to traditional isolated teaching methods. The study highlights the importance of curriculum integration and outcome-based design for effective AI and Robotics education at the school level.
