This paper investigates the relationship between the use of robotics in learning towards self-efficacy and computational thinking skills. This paper also examines whether there is a relationship between computational thinking skills and self-efficacy. This paper employed a systematic literature review method by examining forty articles drawn from ‘computational thinking’, ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘educational robotics’ keywords in the literature. The majority of research indicates that the use of robotics in learning facilitates the development of computational thinking skills as well as learners’ self-efficacy. The paper advocates that future research should examine the extent of computational thinking skills and self-efficacy influence on student behavior.
