Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is integrated into education programs in many countries because it benefits the national economy and raises qualified manpower. During STEM-based activities, students increase their problem-solving and research skills by using technology and engineering knowledge together with science and mathematics knowledge. When the studies in the literature are examined, although it is seen that STEM education has positive contributions, it is encountered that the current resources for teachers are limited. The lack of up-to-date resources for teachers causes them to be insufficient in their field knowledge. Apart from this, teachers need to follow current technologies to be able to correctly apply the technology and engineering steps in STEM education and to have a high level of technological literacy. This study will provide information about the integration of educational robots in the researches to be done in the field of STEM education and give an idea to the studies to be done on the subject.
