ABSTRACT
This study, which systematically examines educational robotics and robots (ERR), has two purposes. (1) Classifying the research on the ERR to identify research trends and gaps, (2) Summarizing the experimental findings related to ERR and to interpret them according to the claims in the literature. A mixed method combining systematic mapping and systematic review were used in the study. Ninety-three articles published in Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) indexed journals and meeting the specified criteria were analyzed using a systematic mapping process. The results showed that 40 out of 93 articles did not include any learning theory. Thirty-two experimental studies were analyzed within the scope of the systematic review. The empirical findings supporting some of the claims about ERR are summarized and the research gaps in the claims that need to be supported by theoretical and pedagogical approaches are revealed.
