Özet

In the educational context, human-robot interaction involves using robots to enhance students' learning experiences and outcomes. In the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), many studies examine human-robot interaction; however, no systematic review of these studies exists. This study aims to systematically review the relevant literature to better understand the impact of HRI in educational settings. A search of the Web of Science and ScienceDirect databases yielded 59 studies using the keywords "human-robot interaction" and "education," which was reduced to 19 studies after eligibility assessment. In the review process, criteria such as the purpose of the studies, the referenced theory and model, the educational variables examined (academic performance, motivation, social interaction, etc.), the method used, the sample group and size, the role of the robot, the country, the discipline/course/subject, data collection tools, the results of the study, and the recommendations provided to teachers, practitioners, and developers were evaluated. This study will serve as a reference point for evaluating the potential of using robots in education, assessing the effectiveness of current practices, and guiding future research and application development processes. The systematic study of HRI in education will expand the body of knowledge in this field and support more effective integration of educational technologies and robotics applications. Additionally, it will offer strategic insights into optimizing the use of robots in education, providing valuable recommendations for teachers, practitioners, and developers.
