“…[60]. Not only early childhood education but also STEM disciplines and contemporary society expect children to accomplish holistic development through education [61]. However, despite the significance, the majority of studies of robotics education still place more emphasis on cognitive and skill domains than the attitude domain.…”

This study conducted a systematic and thematic review on existing literature in robotics education using robotics kits (not social robots) for young children (Pre-K and kindergarten through 5th grade). This study investigated: (1) the definition of robotics education; (2) thematic patterns of key findings; and (3) theoretical and methodological traits. The results of the review present a limitation of previous research in that it has focused on robotics education only as an instrumental means to support other subjects or STEM education. This study identifies that the findings of the existing research are weighted toward outcome-focused research. Lastly, this study addresses the fact that most of the existing studies used constructivist and constructionist frameworks not only to design and implement robotics curricula but also to analyze young children's engagement in robotics education. Relying on the findings of the review, this study suggests clarifying and specifying robotics-intensified knowledge, skills, and attitudes in defining robotics education in connection to computer science education. In addition, this study concludes that research agendas need to be diversified and the diversity of research participants needs to be broadened. To do this, this study suggests employing social and cultural theoretical frameworks and critical analytical lenses by considering children's historical, cultural, social, and institutional contexts in understanding young children's engagement in robotics education.

The objective of this presentation is the analysis of various aspects related to the principles of holistic education from the perspective of dynamic systems theory. Starting from the definition and concepts of dynamic systems, an argument will be made that holistic education, defined in the formal sense in harmony with the real world, it can not be done without discussing the entirety of the system of education, seen from the view of a systems integrator. This problem exists from ancient times, and it is not believed that a solution will be found in current times, possibly never. This problem is largely correlated with the fundamental problem of philosophy. Besides, neither philosophy, nor science could not yet determine whether the Universe has the border,. Hence, it follows that the "whole" can not really be known. We can assume that an "object" is a whole only if we "see" this like to be isolated from its exterior. So, we are forced to apply the principle of reductionist. Otherwise, the "object" is a part of the whole which is made by the "object" and its outside.

“…The values learned on the cognitive aspect will affect attitudes and behaviours so that students will become complete human beings [18]. It is not only the intellectual aspect that needs to be developed but also physical, social, moral, aesthetic, creativity, and spirituality [19]. The lesson which is not done to develop the three aspects led to the students' development is unbalanced and incomplete.…”

The purpose of this study is to describe the holistic thematic learning at elementary school in the implementation of Curriculum 2013 in Indonesia: ie to know wether the learning is thematic and holistic. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data were collected through documentation, observation, and interviews. Data were analyzed based on Miles & Hubermen interactive model. Conclusions are determined by triangulation of methods and sources. This study has two findings: 1) in preparing the theme networking, each subject indicator has not been associated with subthemes, 2) thematic learning is not designed holistically through cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Based on these findings it can be concluded that the implementation of Curriculum 2013 on thematic learning in Indonesia is not in accordance with the characteristics of a holistic thematic learning. It is not thematic and holistic. The results of the study imply that in designing the theme networking, the teacher should link the each subject matter with subtheme. Teachers must develop students' ability holistically on the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects in a balanced.
