About

Henry Goh is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of educational technology, robotics, and STEM pedagogy. His scholarship focuses on leveraging hands-on robotics experiences to make science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education more accessible, engaging, and meaningful for students at various levels. Goh's most influential contribution, "Using Robotics in Education: Lessons Learned and Learning Experiences" (2007, 23 citations), examined how competitive robotics challenges — specifically using RCX LEGO MindStorms platforms — could guide secondary school students toward a deeper understanding of programming and core engineering principles. This work demonstrated that competition-driven, project-based learning could serve as a powerful motivator for developing technical competencies. Building on this foundation, his 2014 paper "Robotics as a Tool to STEM Learning" (20 citations) tackled the persistent challenge of student disengagement from STEM disciplines, arguing that robotics could serve as an emotionally meaningful and practically compelling vehicle for STEM instruction. Collectively, Goh's research has contributed meaningfully to debates around active learning and educational innovation, offering educators practical frameworks for transforming traditionally intimidating technical subjects into stimulating, student-centered experiences.
