About
Cathy Weng is a leading educational technology researcher whose work focuses on computational thinking (CT), problem-solving skills (PSS), and programming education in Taiwan. Her most-cited study, "Effects of LEGO robotic on freshmen students' computational thinking and programming learning attitudes in Taiwan" (2021, 21 citations), demonstrates how integrating LEGO robotics kits can enhance students' CT and foster positive attitudes toward programming. This research addresses the critical need for developing technology-driven problem-solving competencies in the digital age, offering practical insights for educators seeking to engage freshmen in hands-on, collaborative learning. Weng’s contributions lie in bridging theoretical frameworks of CT with real-world classroom applications, showing that tangible robotics tools can demystify abstract programming concepts. Her work has influenced curriculum design in STEM education, particularly in Asian contexts, and highlights the importance of early exposure to computational thinking. With a growing citation impact, Weng continues to shape how educators approach programming instruction, making her a key voice in the intersection of educational robotics and 21st-century skill development.
