About
Dr. WonGyu Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of special education and computational thinking, whose work has opened new pathways for inclusive technology-based learning. His primary research areas focus on developing accessible programming education methods for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Intellectual Disabilities, with a particular emphasis on using robotics as a pedagogical tool. In his landmark 2024 study, "Enhancing computational thinking in students with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities: a robot programming approach," Dr. Lee demonstrated how structured robot programming activities can significantly improve computational thinking skills in neurodiverse learners. This work, already garnering 6 citations, represents a crucial step in bridging the gap between STEM education and special needs instruction. By designing adaptive programming curricula that leverage tangible robotics, he has shown that abstract computational concepts can be made concrete and achievable for students who traditionally face barriers in technology education. Dr. Lee's research not only advances theoretical understanding of cognitive skill development in special populations but also provides practical, evidence-based strategies for educators. His contributions are particularly notable for challenging assumptions about who can benefit from computational thinking education, making him a vital voice in the movement toward truly inclusive STEM learning environments.
