Catering to the trend of educational reform in the intelligent era, the use of robotics in developing student creativity proves to be of greater practical value. The findings of this study are that: first, the overall effect of educational robotics on student creativity reaches above-moderate level; second, educational robotics has more significant effects on creativity of primary and junior secondary students; third, in terms of subjects, robotics courses can most effectively promote student creativity; fourth, among various teaching topics, prototype creation has the most substantial impact on student creativity; fifth, in terms of instruction methods, inquiry-driven teaching can best stimulate student creativity; sixth, compared with ordinary classrooms, the laboratory environment is more favorable for the development of student creativity. The paper also offers recommendations for popularizing robotics curriculum at different education levels.\u003Cbr>Best Evidence in Chinese Education 2022; 11(1):1449-1454.\u003Cbr>Doi: 10.15354/bece.22.ab001. |\n| --- |\n| How to Cite: Hou, H., Zhang, X., & Wang, D.

In this study, three teaching methods are discussed to utilize educational robots to develop student creativity: the robotics-based inquiry-driven method; the robot design-based teaching method; the robotic application project-based teaching method.  \nResearch Design  \nMethods and Instruments  \nThe present study uses meta-analysis to examine the sample data in existing research to systematically evaluate the results of numerous studies by quantitative synthesis. Samples and parameters such as the mean values and standard deviations of the experimental and control groups are extracted from the experimental studies to calculate standardized mean differences (SMD) which are treated as effect sizes. Hedges’ g value is one of the estimated values of SMD, a computation result combining the SMD with the mixed variance of the control group and the experimental group.
