About

Kristina Cergol is an emerging researcher in the interdisciplinary field of educational technology, with a focus on human-robot interaction and language learning. Her work explores how robot design and scenario-based learning can enhance student engagement and pedagogical outcomes, particularly in foreign language education. In her most-cited paper, "Pupils’ Perspectives Regarding Robot Design and Language Learning Scenario" (2021, 5 citations), she investigates how learners’ preferences for robot appearance and behavior influence their motivation and participation in language tasks. Her follow-up study, "Educational Robots and Flow Experience" (2022, 2 citations), examines the psychological state of flow—deep immersion and enjoyment—in robot-assisted learning environments, offering insights into designing more effective and captivating educational tools. While her citation counts are modest, her research is foundational in understanding the user-centered design of educational robots, bridging gaps between technology, psychology, and pedagogy. Cergol’s work is particularly valuable for educators and developers seeking to create inclusive, engaging, and learner-driven robotic systems. Her contributions highlight the importance of student voice in shaping the future of AI in education.
