About
Izabela Pereira Da Silva is a dedicated researcher in technology education and gender equity, with a primary focus on integrating robotics into basic education to spark early interest in technological fields. Her most cited work, “Despertando o interesse pelo conhecimento tecnológico usando Robótica: uma experiência na Educação Básica para igualdade de gênero” (2020, 5 citations), explores how hands-on robotics experiences can address the persistent gender gap in technology professions. Da Silva’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that targeted educational interventions—particularly those involving robotics—can empower young girls and foster a more inclusive pipeline into STEM careers. Her research highlights the strategic importance of increasing women’s participation in technology, not only for individual opportunity but also for broader societal equality. By documenting a practical classroom experience, she provides a replicable model for educators seeking to challenge stereotypes and build confidence in female students. Though her citation count is modest, her work is notable for its timely focus on a critical issue: the underrepresentation of women in tech. Da Silva’s efforts contribute to a growing body of evidence that early, engaging exposure to technology can reshape career aspirations and promote gender parity from the ground up.
