A systematic review of the use of BBC Micro:bit in K-12 Education

Abstract

The technologies as BBC Micro.Bit open up new opportunities for designersmto create innovative forms of interaction based on gestures, body movements or physicalm manipulation of real objects. This paper is a systematic review of the literature (SLR) on the use of BBC Micro:bit in context of K-12 Education. This review included ten studies published from 2019 – 2023. For such, was adopted the Goal, Question, Metrics (GQM) approach as it represents a systematic approach for defining and evaluating a set of operational goals using a measurement in three phases: Planning, Conducting, Reporting. The results showed that the circuit can be used in different contexts and that students and teachers present difficulties in programming and in understanding the hardware suggesting an effective preparation and training on the part of teachers.
