About
Ahmad Sobri Hashim is a researcher at the forefront of educational technology, specializing in the intersection of robotics, assistive technology, and programming education. His work is driven by a mission to make complex technical skills accessible and to support learners with diverse needs. Hashim’s most significant contribution is his pioneering research on using robots as assistive tools for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). His highly cited 2020 study, with 50 citations, demonstrates how robotic platforms can enhance cognitive abilities and create valuable learning experiences, establishing a new pathway for inclusive education. Beyond this, Hashim addresses a fundamental challenge in computer science education: the difficulty novices face in learning structured programming. Through case studies and the development of robot-based teaching tools like the mBot, he has created tangible solutions to bridge the gap between abstract coding concepts and hands-on application. His 2023 work on improving programming skills directly responds to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, ensuring engineering students are equipped with essential IT competencies. By combining rigorous pedagogical research with practical, robot-mediated interventions, Hashim is shaping a future where technology serves as a dynamic partner in learning for all students.
