Haptic feedback can be effectively used for educational and training purposes, particularly in fields such as physics, math, and arts, offering a more interactive learning media and supporting kinesthetic learners by its nature. Herein, different ways of implementing haptic feedback on different educational scenarios from the perspective of technological development and their impact on children's learned skills and outcomes (e.g., their motivation, their analytical or spatial thinking abilities, or fine motor skills) will be examined. This article provides an overview of how haptic feedback has been implemented in different learning scenarios for children. Particularly, it is indicated that haptics can potentially improve early childhood learning outcomes and spatial reasoning skills as it can increase children's interest, participation, performance in educational activities, and analytical ability. The major drawbacks of the current studies, such as variance in participants' learning challenges and small sample numbers are also highlighted. Haptic feedback can be used for educationand training , offering a more interactive learning media and supporting kinesthetic learners by its nature. Herein, we provide an overview of how haptic feedback has been implemented in different learning scenarios for children from the perspective of technological development and their impact on learned skills, achieved motivation, thinking abilities, or fine motor skills.image (c) 2024 WILEY-VCH GmbHeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesschildrenhapticskinestheticlearningrobotstactiletouchArticleWOS:00121524950000110.1002/aisy.2023007312-s2.0-85192263196N/AN/A
