Educational Robotics and the Development of Problem-Solving Skills: A Systematic Review.

Abstract

The systematic review on educational robotics and the improvement of skills related to problem-solving highlights the importance of integrating technology into education to promote active and highly meaningful learning. This study highlights the importance and challenges of robotics in the classroom and its role in problem-solving and the development of students’ competencies. That is why educational robotics is considered a valuable tool for teaching STEM concepts—an approach that integrates the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, which are essential for developing 21st-century skills. Furthermore, problem-solving is a fundamental skill that can be developed through educational robotics and collaborative learning; furthermore, computational thinking and metacognition are key skills that can be fostered through educational robotics. Technology is a valuable tool for supporting learning and strengthening problem-solving skills. In this project, a systematic review of database studies was conducted to identify research contributing to this topic, using the PRISMA method to ensure the quality and transparency of the literature review. The conclusion is that educational robotics has proven to be an effective and innovative approach to developing problem-solving skills and promoting active learning in.
