Resumo

This survey paper analyzes existing works on continuum formation in Educational Robotics. We follow a systematic review approach coming up with a set of strictly related papers that are analyzed in more detail later. About a half of the analyzed works have shown some aspects of continuity. We observe a growing in the pedagogical use of robotics in education in several countries. Also, we observe that the projects that have more continuity as a training proposal are those that present support from institutions promoting local, or even national, public policies. These projects have had a longer-term existence, thus implementing more consolidated pedagogical practices for Educational Robotics.
