The Influence of Robots on Students’ Computational Thinking: A Literature Review

Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology and the further expansion of its social influence, robot technology has gradually matured. In this stage, cultivating students' computing thinking has become an important task to promote the development of information technology talents and an essential direction of information technology education. Robotic is an excellent tool for introducing coding and computational thinking into early childhood education. How to cultivate students' computational thinking and how to use a robot to realize the transformation of learning is very important. Based on this, this paper systematically reviews the influence of robot teaching on students' computational thinking in k-12 education and looks forward to the future development direction of research on computational thinking and optimization of robot education.
