About
Bruno Leal Bastos is a Brazilian education researcher whose work centers on the intersection of technology and pedagogy, with a particular focus on educational robotics and curriculum integration in public schools. His most recognized contributions emerge from his involvement with the UCA (One Laptop per Student) project at the Municipal School Elza Maria Pellegrini de Aguiar in Campinas, São Paulo, where he investigated how pedagogical robotics could be meaningfully embedded into elementary school curricula between 2011 and 2014. Bastos has made notable strides in understanding how teachers appropriate and adapt technology-based tools in real classroom settings. His 2015 study, which has garnered 6 citations, offers a detailed account of the practical implementation of educational robotics within teacher training frameworks, while his earlier 2013 work — with 4 citations — reflects critically on teacher engagement and empowerment through robotic tools. Together, these contributions highlight his commitment to making technology accessible and pedagogically purposeful in under-resourced public school environments. His research serves as a valuable reference for educators and policymakers interested in integrating robotics into foundational education in Brazil and beyond.
