About
Jeonghye Han is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of educational technology and robotics, whose work has fundamentally shaped how we understand the role of robots in learning environments. Best known for her groundbreaking investigations into robot-assisted language learning (RALL) and r-Learning — the pedagogical application of educational robots — Han has been instrumental in establishing robots as legitimate and effective teaching tools for children. Her early papers, "The Educational Use of Home Robots for Children" (2006, 171 citations) and its comparative follow-up (2008, 210 citations), drew on Korea's world-class IT infrastructure to introduce and validate the concept of home-based educational robots, marking a milestone in the field. Her cross-cultural research on humanoid and animal-type robot acceptance across Japan, Korea, and the United States (2008, 101 citations) further broadened her impact into social robotics and design psychology. Han has also explored augmented reality in early childhood education and ICT capacity-building for 21st-century teachers, demonstrating a consistently learner-centered perspective. With over 800 cumulative citations across her top works, Han remains an essential voice in shaping technology-integrated education globally.
