Exploring the Integration of Educational Robotics and the Internet of Things in Learning Environments

This study explores the integration of Educational Robotics (ER) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in learning environments, highlighting their collective impact on educational practices. It assesses ER and IoT’s application, challenges, and opportunities, offering insights into their role in enhancing pedagogy and learning outcomes. Specifically, our exploration uncovers the transformative potential of ER and IoT in fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and digital literacy among students and reveals the pivotal role these technologies play in preparing learners for the demands of the digital age and Industry 4.0, while also highlighting the need for strategic implementation and teacher support. Our findings elucidate the potential of ER and IoT to innovate teaching strategies and curriculum design, serving as a guide for educational stakeholders, such as curriculum developers, educators, researchers, and policymakers, in leveraging these technologies to revolutionize instructional practices.
