Robotic Technologies in Education and Educational Robotic Applications

Abstract

Developments in information and communication technologies have triggered a process of social transformation. The spread of technology in every field from past to present has led to emergence of different perspectives on technology. Technological tools are used in almost every field, from medicine to engineering, from education to construction. In this context, robotic technologies have come to the fore as a large developing field that affects human life. When the studies on the use of robotics in education are reviewed, it is seen that developed countries see robotics as a driving force in education and attach great importance to the use of these technologies in terms of improving their education systems. The purpose of the current study designed based on the idea that robotic systems make great contributions to the field of education and will make even more contributions is to investigate robotic technologies and related concepts, the reflections of robotic technologies in the field of education and educational robotic applications. It is thought that such an investigation of the status and reflections of robotic technologies in education and the suggestions presented in this direction will shed light for the studies to be conducted on the use of robotic technologies in education and will provide guidance for researchers.
