Educational robotics is employed in both formal education and extracurricular activities to foster student
interest, engagement, and academic performance across various subjects. The research on robot-based
learning and its impact on academics has been continuously growing in recent years. Hence, this mini
Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is aimed at reviewing previous studies on using robotics in education.
Articles accessed from 2019-2023 across three databases, Scopus, Springer and ScienceDirect, to discover
relevant papers and documents for highlighting were considered. This research implements the Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) mode. The findings of the articles
from the nations demonstrated that ASIA had carried out more research. The research method employed in
educational robotics articles focused on survey questionnaires with the highest ratings of 40%. Most of the
articles focused on primary education. The findings can guide future research that needs to be conducted
concerning educational robotics among remedial students.
This work aims to provide a practical guide to assist students of Computer Science
courses and related fields to conduct a systematic literature review. The steps proposed
in this paper to conduct a systematic review were extracted from a technical report
published by the researcher Bárbara Kitchenham [1] and arranged in a more objective
format, in order to make information

Navigation through citation network based on content similarity using cosine ...Salam Shah
The rate of scientific literature has been increased in the past few decades; new topics and information is added in the form of articles, papers, text documents, web logs, and patents. The growth of information at rapid rate caused a tremendous amount of additions in the current and past knowledge, during this process, new topics emerged, some topics split into many other sub-topics, on the other hand, many topics merge to formed single topic. The selection and search of a topic manually in such a huge amount of information have been found as an expensive and workforce-intensive task. For the emerging need of an automatic process to locate, organize, connect, and make associations among these sources the researchers have proposed different techniques that automatically extract components of the information presented in various formats and organize or structure them. The targeted data which is going to be processed for component extraction might be in the form of text, video or audio. The addition of different algorithms has structured information and grouped similar information into clusters and on the basis of their importance, weighted them. The organized, structured and weighted data is then compared with other structures to find similarity with the use of various algorithms. The semantic patterns can be found by employing visualization techniques that show similarity or relation between topics over time or related to a specific event. In this paper, we have proposed a model based on Cosine Similarity Algorithm for citation network which will answer the questions like, how to connect documents with the help of citation and content similarity and how to visualize and navigate through the document.
This document summarizes a systematic review of 288 studies on emerging technologies (ETs) in education published between 2006-2016. The review found:

Exploring Semantic Question Generation Methodology and a Case Study for Algor...IJCI JOURNAL
Assessment of student performance is one of the most important tasks in the educational process. Thus, formulating questions and creating tests takes the instructor a lot of time and effort. However, the time spent for learning acquisition and on exam preparation could be utilized in better ways. With the technical development in representing and linking data, ontologies have been used in academic fields to represent the terms in a field by defining concepts and categories classifies the subject. Also, the emergence of such methods that represent the data and link it logically contributed to the creation of methods and tools for creating questions. These tools can be used in existing learning systems to provide effective solutions to assist the teacher in creating test questions. This research paper introduces a semantic methodology for automating question generation in the domain of Algorithms. The primary objective of this approach is to support instructors in effectively incorporating automatically generated questions into their instructional practice, thereby enhancing the teaching and learning experience.
Educational robotics has several potential benefits but also faces challenges in implementation. It can develop students' cognitive and social skills, and motivate learning. However, teachers need time and appropriate curricula to successfully integrate the technology. Research found that educational robotics benefited both genders and improved students' problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills through constructivist learning approaches. User-friendly robots and introductory curricula can make educational robotics more accessible and enjoyable for both students and teachers.
Investigating the roles of demographic profiles on usability assessment: case...IAESIJAI
Postgraduate education is the highest education structure in all countries across global. In Malaysia, postgraduate education is usually pursued by several candidates, such as academicians, professionals, and motivated junior learners. As such, one of the requirements of postgraduate education is to have a publication as a mandatory graduation requirement. Thus, one of the challenging issues in the publication is to ensure the quality of the references and citation. However, the lack of mobile applications available that focus on citation management caused several problems such as succumbing to predatory journals, poor citation work, desk rejection, and
inaccurate facts. Therefore, the purpose of this study is twofold: first, to investigate the roles and usability assessment of CiteGuru application as a mobile solution for improving learners’ skills, ability, and knowledge on referencing and second, to investigate the roles of demographic profiles on the usability perception among the respondents. A quantitative research methodology using a survey was adopted with 23 expert panels selected based on three distinct positions–academic, industries, and librarians. Data were analysed using statistical package for social science version 26. The result indicates that i) the panel rate the usability of the application as
acceptable and ii) demographic profiles (sector, education, and gender) prove insignificant on the usability assessment.

An Analysis of Behavioral Intention toward Actual Usage of Open Source Softwa...IJAEMSJORNAL
This study focused on analyzing behavioral intention toward the actual usage of open source software in private universities in Tanzania. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data in two private universities namely Iringa University and Ruaha Catholic University. Stratified sampling technique was utilized to ensure sample representativeness among two universities where simple random sampling was used to draw a sample from each stratum during the survey. Finding Using Structural Equation Modeling indicated that performance expectancy (source code production and software localization) and social factor (Vendor, internet services provider and lecturer) have a significant influence toward behavioral intention while effort expectancy was found to be insignificant. In addition the behavioral intention was found to be significant toward student’s actual usage of open source software in Universities. This study recommended that for students to develop behavioral intention toward OSS actual usage, internet service provider have to increase the level of internet services that can assist the university communities to access and download open source software. In addition, to increase actual use, open source software vendors and lecturer or experts have to make sure that their software source code is free for distribution and localization, this will increase self-motivation and interest of the students toward actual usage of open source software.

An Analysis of Behavioral Intention toward Actual Usage of Open Source Softwa...IJAEMSJORNAL
This study focused on analyzing behavioral intention toward the actual usage of open source software in private universities in Tanzania. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data in two private universities namely Iringa University and Ruaha Catholic University. Stratified sampling technique was utilized to ensure sample representativeness among two universities where simple random sampling was used to draw a sample from each stratum during the survey. Finding Using Structural Equation Modeling indicated that performance expectancy (source code production and software localization) and social factor (Vendor, internet services provider and lecturer) have a significant influence toward behavioral intention while effort expectancy was found to be insignificant. In addition the behavioral intention was found to be significant toward student’s actual usage of open source software in Universities. This study recommended that for students to develop behavioral intention toward OSS actual usage, internet service provider have to increase the level of internet services that can assist the university communities to access and download open source software. In addition, to increase actual use, open source software vendors and lecturer or experts have to make sure that their software source code is free for distribution and localization, this will increase self-motivation and interest of the students toward actual usage of open source software.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

ABSTRACT
Educational robotics is employed in both formal education and extracurricular activities to foster student
interest, engagement, and academic performance across various subjects. The research on robot-based
learning and its impact on academics has been continuously growing in recent years. Hence, this mini
Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is aimed at reviewing previous studies on using robotics in education.
Articles accessed from 2019-2023 across three databases, Scopus, Springer and ScienceDirect, to discover
relevant papers and documents for highlighting were considered. This research implements the Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) mode. The findings of the articles
from the nations demonstrated that ASIA had carried out more research. The research method employed in
educational robotics articles focused on survey questionnaires with the highest ratings of 40%. Most of the
articles focused on primary education. The findings can guide future research that needs to be conducted
concerning educational robotics among remedial students.
KEYWORDS
Educational Robotics, Educational Robots, Mini Systematic Literature Review
1. INTRODUCTION
The application of education has been greatly impacted recently by the development of
technology. Technology in education is anticipated to enable students to participate in hands-on
learning activities that will help them develop their social and cognitive abilities. According to
Rosanda & Starcic [1], robotics education fosters a learning environment in which students may
develop and discover answers to real-world issues due to the sensors as well as actuators.
Furthermore, robotics education may be a tool for teachers and students to instruct learning more
active and motivate students [2]. Additionally, robotics education is regarded as a means of
developing the abilities required for success in the twenty-first century [3].
Therefore, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was performed by assessing research articles
from five years before. Robotics have been utilized in classrooms worldwide to promote new
teaching methodologies. There are virtual and non-virtual varieties of robotics. The Robomind
program, which attempts to give coding education, is an example of a well-known virtual robot
[4]. LEGO robotics is the most prominent non-virtual robotics used in educational activities.
Several LEGO sets have been released for each generation. Since the introduction of LEGO
MINDSTORMS in 1998, there have been three generations of MINDSTORMS products
available in the market. The first generation, LEGO MINDSTORMS (RCX), was released in
1998, followed by LEGO MINDSTORMS (NXT) in 2006, and LEGO MINDSTORMS (EV3) in

2013, targeted for adult and general users. Additionally, LEGO offers products like LEGO Duplo
and LEGO WeDo designed specifically for young children. LEGO Duplo features vibrant colors
and large, easy-to-handle building bricks, making it a fun way for children to learn through play
as they construct buildings and explore their creativity. LEGO WeDo robot is a hands-on
classroom kit of building bricks and electronics for young children. In addition, robotics is used
in pedagogy in various subjects, although it is confined to psychology, art, and music [5].
In recent years, with the help of robotics, an inexorable change has occurred in education. Many
researchers have conducted a wide range of studies and evaluations regarding educational
robotics. Research has shown that educational robots may successfully communicate and increase
student satisfaction and class involvement [6]. Michaelis & Mutlu [7] utilized educational robots
as social companions to interact with youngsters as another example of ER's benefits. The robots
boosted students' interest in learning while encouraging them to enhance their English
proficiency [8].
In addition, robotic technology has gained popularity as a tool to help secondary and tertiary
education. Using robots in teaching and learning at all levels, from secondary school to
university, is a hot research area right now [9]. Furthermore, robotics is utilized in a wide range
of disciplines outside advanced systems, including science and literature. In view of this, the
robotic revolution has been sparked by the usage of robotics by non-engineers and non-technical
specialists [10].
According to the review's findings, computational thinking may impact learning, robotics-based
learning is useful, and computational thinking can be promoted during early childhood by
employing robots. Therefore, this review paper aims to explore and review the relevant aspects of
educational robotics.
i. What are the countries where the study was conducted and the year of robot-based
learning research?
ii. What are the research methods used in the articles gathered?
iii. At which educational stage is the use of robot-based learning more commonly applied?
2. METHODOLOGY
PRISMA will govern the highlights of these systematic literature studies. PRISMA Model is a
quality standard since its methods are highly detailed when dealing with large quantities of data
[11]. Furthermore, PRISMA can assist researchers in producing a qualitative report via a
particular process. The benefit of utilizing the systematic review method with PRISMA is that the
articles are retrieved from a reliable, high-quality database. Additionally, it is acknowledged by
all researchers and prevents the author from trifling and doubting whether they have written
enough articles [12]. As per Moher et al. [13], PRISMA assists the author in tracing articles based
on the study's objectives through four processes: identification, screening, eligibility, and
inclusion. This strategy was adopted as it can aid in synthesizing relevant scholarly literature.
2.1. Identification
In a systematic review, identification is essentially the first step. The main goal of identification
is to choose the appropriate search terms and construct the keyword list. In other words, the
researcher simultaneously searches for all relevant keywords associated with the research topic in
both databases. According to earlier research on systematic reviews, the keywords selected could
be synonyms, related terms, professional judgements, or keywords from earlier literature.

Hence, this study utilized three (3) major online databases from the UPSI library resources:
Scopus, Springer and ScienceDirect, to discover relevant papers and documents for highlighting.
These databases are well-suited for this area of study. This is consistent with Gusenbauer &
Haddaway's [14] recommendation, which confirms the ability of three sources to discover
resources. According to Xiao and Watson [15], no database is accurate. Hence, they recommend
using more than one database. The type of database utilized is not specified as long as a strict
procedure is followed. As a result, it has the designation of systematic literature analysis [11].
Two sources act as supporting databases, and Google Scholar and Web of Science were chosen
as the sources. This database is primarily required to obtain extra sources, such as journals that
are not indexed and any articles that are missing from popular databases. According to Junoh et
al. [17], a supporting database is required since there exist no perfect database. Moreover, the
database's sensitivity to keywords utilized to discover relevant articles does not attain 100%.
Advanced search strategies, including boolean operators, phrase searching, field code functions,
truncation, and merged wild cards in a search strategy, are used to support the keywords-based
search process on major databases. The literature was searched with several keywords (Table 1).
Additionally, manual search methods like handpicking and hand-searching are employed.
Specifically, Scopus, Springer and ScienceDirect indexed a total of 306 journals related to
educational robotics. Meanwhile, other resources indexed 62 journals. Note that 368 articles were
discovered as a result of the search using search engines.
Table 1. Keyword search.
2.2. Screening
This study only considers journal papers published between 2019 and 2023. The aim is to obtain
the latest information on robot-based learning concept integration towards students’ performance
in mathematics in the education world. Here, only empirical data are presented in a few articles.
Furthermore, this study’s literature must comprise solely of journal articles. In addition, the
criteria applied to choose articles included only those involving open access. This is to make the
process of downloading and collecting articles easier. The preliminary survey was based on the
titles, abstracts, as well as articles' keywords. Not only that, but full text is also searched and
reviewed for articles that satisfy the title and abstract requirements. Then, it is determined if the
article will be included or excluded from the previous search. Note that Table 2 summarizes the
exclusion and inclusion criteria.

2.3. Eligibility
The eligibility step comprises a human evaluation of articles to verify that only those that are
qualified and meet the objectives are admitted for the subsequent phase. According to Kraus et al.
[18], simply reading the abstract of an article can tell a researcher whether it can answer a
specific research question. Thirty-nine articles were rescreened by reviewing the abstract, title,
methodology, findings, as well as discussion study to ensure that they met the selection criteria
and the goal of the study. Nineteen articles were rejected at this stage as they lacked a detailed
description of the usage of robotics (eleven articles) and a clear discussion and presentation of the
findings in the research findings section (eight articles).
2.4. Inclusion
After completing the eligibility phase, 20 articles were eligible for the procedure of reading the
entire text utilizing the PRISMA method and analyzed to accomplish the SLR's purpose. Figure 1
displays the PRISMA flow chart in this study, which is adapted and modified from Moher et al.
[13].

2.5. Quality Assessment and Data Extraction
In order to execute systematic analysis and provide a cohesive presentation to meet the review
questions, the data extraction procedure attempted to precisely reflect the material presented in
the article. Quality Assessment (QA) is as substantial as exclusion and inclusion criteria [14].
Table 3 provides the quality evaluation checklist, which is a modified version of the
recommendations in [15]. It was not meant to argue on any of the research programs. The
parameters for rating the chosen articles’ quality related to the SLR quality evaluation standards
are shown in Table 4 [16]. Note that Partially = 0.5 points, No = 0 points, and Yes = 1 points on
the ratio scales. According to the following QA standards, each article was assessed:

example, Papadakis et al. [42] shed light on the importance of understanding teacher attitudes
towards educational robotics, as they play a pivotal role in shaping its successful implementation
in early childhood education. By exploring the profiles of pre-service and in-service early
childhood teachers, the study provides valuable insights into how teachers perceive and embrace
this technology in educational settings. Meanwhile, Anwar et al. [43] present a comprehensive
systematic review of studies on educational robotics, showcasing its diverse applications and
impact in pre-college education. By collating existing research, the paper highlights the
effectiveness of robotics in fostering students' interest and proficiency in STEM fields, paving the
way for more informed and evidence-based decisions in implementing educational robotics.
Moreover, Khairy et al. [44] propose an innovative framework that combines educational
robotics with artificial intelligence and context-awareness technology. This integration enables
personalized and adaptive learning experiences, allowing students to interact with intelligent
systems in real-time. The study introduces a novel approach to enhancing the effectiveness and
applicability of educational robotics, further advancing the frontier of technology-enhanced
education.
These studies demonstrate the potential and significance of educational robotics in real-time
learning scenarios. They underscore the need for continued research, teacher support, and
intelligent system integration to harness the full benefits of this transformative
technology in education.
The area of educational robotics is expanding and has the potential to have a big influence on
how science and technology are taught from kindergarten through higher education. Regarding
the employment of robotic technology as a tool to assist creativity and other 21st-century learning
abilities, Kangungu [26] examines the state of educational robotics at the moment and highlights
new difficulties and trends. As novel educational robotics that provides engaging, hands-on
activities in a captivating learning environment, educational robotics has come to be recognized
[36].
In rural schools, companion robots may be used to encourage kids to pursue science and
technology. A robot designed to provide actual or perceived companionship for people is called a
companion robot. According to Broadbent et al. [45], the companion robots were well received
by all the 207 students and 22 teachers from Brazil who participated in the 30-minute session.
Most of the participants prefer to have robots in their schools. This study suggests that robots
make students more interested in science. In addition, both teachers as well as students perceive
the robot as a pet and beneficial for providing comfort.
Kangungu [26] expressed that the robot-based learning approach produced a more active
classroom with students that were always looking forward to the lesson. The sample size of the
respondent is 20. The implication of this study encouraged academic researchers to conduct more
research on the benefits of the educational robotics approach as an alternative teaching and
learning tool to enhance students’ understanding of learning programming.
Broadbent et al. [45] have found a positive outcome in the review on educational robotics. There
is a positive sign that educational robotics may be an appropriate method to encourage students’
attitudes toward Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning. This
method meets the needs of students, and this is due to the fact that each student has a different
level and style of learning. This method can also allow students to be actively involved in the
class. Understanding how to carry out teaching and learning processes will enable teachers to
provide appropriate educational robotics assistance. It is also hoped that future research on this
topic will be expanded in the education context. Other than that, the several research focusing on
Malaysian educational robotics is limited. Therefore, this research may be employed in the

context of educational robotics in Malaysia, and the study's findings are anticipated to offer
thorough knowledge.
5. CONTRIBUTION AND IMPLICATION OF THE RESEARCH
This mini SLR aims to contribute to knowledge and provide enlightenment through article
analysis about the effectiveness of robot-based learning. Theoretically, the results suggested that
research on robot-based learning is increasing. This indicates that there is still a need for more
studies among remedial students in rural areas. According to the literature search, this study is
relevant since few SLRs concentrate on remedial students in rural areas. Many studies on
educational robotics exist, but not in rural schools among remedial students. As a result, this mini
SLR can shed light on exploring educational robotics among remedial students. The information
gained from multicounty studies is useful in this study and is predicted to generate ideas for
analyzing the effectiveness of robot-based learning. The results presented that primary children
made up the majority of the research on educational robotics analyzed, which is another potential
for a future study to take remedial students from rural areas into account.
6. CONCLUSION
This study investigates the role of educational robotics in schools and develop appropriate criteria
for incorporating robotics activities into the teaching and learning process. Here, the study's
findings suggest that the usage of robotics in schools may enhance the learning environment.
Other than that, teachers' perspectives on new technologies differ, both positively and adversely.
As a result, teachers believe that they may utilize robotics learning if they already possess a
fundamental understanding of robots. Robot-based learning is a good fit for robotics learning
among the numerous learning methodologies. Nevertheless, the number of articles reviewed in
this article is regarded as scarce. Further empirical research into linked issues is required.
