Educational Robotics initiatives in Namibia and worldwide

Abstract

Various educational robotics (ER) initiatives have been carried out worldwide to motivate learners at different levels to learn by working with robotics equipment. A data extraction form was used in this study to review ten ER projects and initiatives, published between 2018 and 2020. A survey was also carried out to gather data regarding electronics and programming in primary schools’ curriculum in Namibia. The articles describing the projects were reviewed based on selected criteria. The aim of this study was to do a systematic review on different ER initiatives and see how the approaches used could be employed to the Namibian context. This review indicated positive results on ER initiatives carried out worldwide.
