The Role of Arduino-Assisted Robotics Coding Application in Physics Learning: A Systematic Review

This study presents a systematic review of the role of Arduino-assisted robotics coding applications in enhancing physics learning. A comprehensive search of the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database identified 175 studies, from which twenty met the inclusion criteria for in-depth analysis. The review critically examined the impact of this intervention on various student outcomes, including computational thinking, programming self-efficacy, problem-solving skills, and creativity. The findings revealed that Arduino-assisted robotics coding significantly improved these competencies, contributing to enhanced student engagement and skill development. However, the intervention did not yield significant improvements in academic performance, primarily due to the lack of sustained and continuous implementation in classrooms. To address this limitation, the study recommends the integration of Arduino-assisted robotics coding into school curricula, ensuring long-term application to maximize its educational benefits. These findings underscore the need for structured and consistent use of robotics coding in physics education to promote holistic student development.
