“…Benefits related to the acquisition of specific competencies: As this study explores STEAM Education, it is normal to find studies related to the competencies commonly associated with STEAM Education, such as computational thinking, problem‐solving, critical thinking, programming, computing and design skills, interdisciplinary skills, computers science autonomy, autonomous learning, negotiating skills, and social abilities. Some examples of this type of papers are References [14,16,20,22,30,31,42,57,58,63,64,66,70,84,92,96,97,102]…”

As commented above, the reduction in the price of robotics and physical devices has facilitated the application of such technology in preuniversity education, with different advantages related to an early acquisition of STEAM-related competencies [2,50], examples of papers that describe this as one of the main goals are References [12,42,58,79,81,103].…”

“…In addition, price reduction and the advantages related to the application of PD&R in STEAM Education also facilitate access to STEAM Education in new contexts such as in developing countries such as India [85]. Moreover, this also makes possible access to STEAM Education for minority students [84] and inclusion for several collectives [36,48,87] and for disabled students [105]. Last, but not least, beyond the context or the inclusion of students, PD&R in STEAM Education increases the engagement of collectives traditionally not so attracted with STEAM careers, such as female students [36,70].…”

“…different approaches in the SMP, especially taking into account the standard deviation from the average number. This is because some initiatives are only focused on their own experiments in a single class, for example, References [78,84]; others apply the same approach in several schools, for example, References [30,81]; and others show the results in competitions, for example, References [26,37]. Given this situation, the number of students involved in the different applications is probably not so relevant, and there is not a clear tendency regarding the type of initiative.…”

Nowadays, companies are demanding better‐prepared professionals to succeed in a digital society, and the acquisition of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM)‐related competencies is a key issue. One of the main problems in this sense is how to integrate STEAM into the current educational curricula. This is not something related to a subject or educational trend but rather to new methodological approaches that can engage students. In this sense, such active methodologies that apply mechatronics and robotics could be an interesting path to pursue. Given this context, the first necessary task in evaluating the potential of this approach is to understand the landscape of the application of robotics and mechatronics in STEAM Education and how active methodologies are applied in this sense. To carry out this analysis in a systematic and replicable manner, it is necessary to follow a methodology. In this case, the researchers employ a systematic mapping review. This paper presents this process and its main findings. Fifty‐four studies have been selected out of 242 total studies analyzed. From these, beyond obtaining a clear vision of the STEAM landscape regarding project topics, we can also conclude that robotics and physical devices have been applied successfully with collaborative methodologies in STEAM Education. Regarding conclusions, this paper shows that robotics and mechatronics applied with active methodologies is to be a good means to engage students in STEAM disciplines and thus aid the acquisition of what is commonly known as “21st‐century skills.”

STEAM Education is nowadays a key element for our current digital society. Integrating STEAM and developing competences such as Computational Thinking is highly demanded by the industry and higher education institutions. In order to do so new methodological approaches are required. RoboSTEAM project is an Erasmus+ project defined to address these topics by using of physical devices and robotics employing Challenge Based Learning methodology. One of the first steps in the project development is the definition of current landscape in the research field. Which means to carry out a literature mapping that considers previous applications of Challenge Based Learning in STEAM education and use of robots and physical devices to do so. This paper shows the mapping review process and the main results obtained. The mapping analyze 242 candidate works from the most relevant bibliographic sources and selected 54. Form them it was possible to see that there are not many initiatives on STEM Education related to Challenge base learning and the most of them are specially focused on the application of specific tools and in the development of concrete competences.
