• Abstract: Educational Robotics has been consolidated as an important pedagogical strategy for the development of computational thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This study presents a qualitative documentary analysis of the implementation of robotics education in the public school system of Paraná, Brazil, considering official documents, digital platforms, pedagogical materials, and technological kits used in Basic Education. The investigation is based on the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the Standards for Computing in Basic Education, and the Paraná Curriculum Framework. The results reveal significant advances related to the availability of digital platforms, robotics kits, and teacher training initiatives promoted by the Paraná State Department of Education (SEED-PR). At the same time, challenges related to technological infrastructure, connectivity, the expansion of continuing teacher education, and the different school realities within the public network were identified. It is concluded that the pedagogical effectiveness of educational robotics depends on the articulation between technological resources, curricular planning, qualified teacher mediation, and continuous investments in educational public policies.
