Robots have become more common in our society as it penetrates the education system as well as in industrial area. More researches have been done on robotics and its application in education area. Are the usage of robots in teaching and learning actually work and effective in Malaysian context? What is the importance of educational robotics in education and what skills will be sharpened in using robotics in education? As programming is vital in educational robotics another issues arise – which programming is suitable for Malaysian schools and how to implement it among the students? As per whole discussion, a new robotic curriculum will be suggested. This paper present a review on educational robotics, its advantages to educational fields, the hardware design and the common programming software used which can be implemented among Malaysian students. The results from the overview will help to spark the interest to not only researchers in the field of human–robot interaction but also administration in educational institutes who wish to understand the wider implications of adopting robots in education.

Assistive technologies in education have been rapidly expanding in recent years with the multiple of
choices which are embedded in the school syllabus. Recently, the innovation has been penetrating schools worldwide
more rapidly. This paper provides a critical discussion and review on the concepts of assistive technologies in
education, applications, and research on the innovation. Central to the discussion is a better understanding of
scientific usage of the technologies in schools. Assistive technologies further serves as a problem-solving tool or
medium that enhanced learning via many factors such as critical thinking, multimodal learning and motivational
approaches. The targeted goal of the paper, therefore, is to stimulate the discussion of assistive technologies as the
innovation in education based on current research and practical applications.
