About

Eka Prihatini is an emerging researcher in educational technology and STEM engagement, with a particular focus on robotics education for young learners. Her most cited work, "Peningkatan Minat Anak di Bidang Robotika" (2019), examines how school facilities and teacher competence influence student interest in robotics, using Harapan Mulia Islamic Elementary School as a case study. This paper, with 4 citations, highlights a critical issue: despite the school's strong resources and popular extracurricular programs, robotics remains the least favored activity among students. Prihatini’s research contributes to understanding the barriers to STEM participation at the elementary level, offering insights into how schools can better promote technical fields. Her work is notable for addressing the gap between available resources and student engagement, a challenge relevant to educators and policymakers aiming to cultivate early interest in robotics and technology. While her citation count is modest, her focus on practical, school-based interventions positions her as a thoughtful voice in the conversation on improving STEM education accessibility and appeal for children.
