Over the years, educational robotics has gained more weight, being increasingly present in the teaching and learning process. The use of robotics as an educational resource is important due to the benefits that it can cause among students, such as increased attention, motivation, curiosity, etc., as can be observed in the different studies analysed for this research. More and more authors are studying the benefits or damages that educational robotics can have in the teaching and learning process of students. This research will analyse the opinions of future primary school teachers on the use of robotics as an educational resource to teach mathematics. The opinions of fifty students of the Degree of Primary Education of the University of Extremadura (Badajoz, Spain) will be analysed. The data is obtained through an open question through a forum and, in order to carry out the pertinent analyses, the WebQDA software was used (Neri, Costa and Moreira, 2011). With WebQDA, the different opinions of the students were coded, according to a category system designed by Soto-Ardila, Caballero, Melo and Luengo (2019). The results show that, for the majority of the students in the sample, the use of robotics can provide numerous benefits in the teaching-learning process in general and, more specifically, in the teaching and learning of mathematics, these being benefits, greater than the disadvantages that its use can cause.
