Computational Thinking is a skill that must be possessed in STEM learning. The abstraction process is at the core of CT. Abstract thinking is built on ideas and ideas based on experience. From the literature studies that have been read, many have adopted robotics media in education but researchers have not found the use of robotics media in the field of biology at the high school education level. Therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted to find out the latest developments regarding the topics in this literature. Therefore, this study highlights 3 points of the application of robotics in high school education to hone students’ abstract thinking skills. First, STEM can facilitate abstract thinking. Second, the role of robotics in education which is proven to increase student motivation. The third is the implementation of STEM learning in high school education. The search was limited to literature data-based publication outlets such as DOAJ, ERIC, Science Direct, and Google Scholar to maintain credibility. While previous research shows that students’ abstract thinking skills tend to be lower when using conventional learning. So that we need an approach such as STEM which is useful for solving a problem by utilizing symbols and is more effective in exploring concepts.
