Abstract

According to UNESCO, the use of technology in education can enhance the quality of education and increase access to education worldwide. One of the technological devices that has gained popularity in education in recent years is the BBC micro:bit. This device has been used as an educational tool to teach programming and technology to students of all ages. This paper combines a scoping review and bibliometric analysis to map and analyze the literature on the implementation of the BBC micro:bit in primary and secondary education. A total of 274 authors have published 95 documents with an average of 2.88 co-authors per document. The integration of BBC micro:bit in education has allowed for the adoption of various teaching strategies and methodologies, enriching the learning experience of students. Overall, this study provides a better understanding of the literature on the BBC micro:bit and its research landscape in an educational context.
