About
Eliana Alves Moreira is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, educational technology, and socioenactive systems. Her work fundamentally explores how collaborative meaning-making emerges when humans and autonomous, sensing technologies interact. Her most-cited study, "Collaborative Meaning Construction in Socioenactive Systems: Study with the mBot" (2019, 17 citations), exemplifies this focus. In this influential paper, she investigated how children collaboratively construct knowledge and shared understanding while programming and interacting with the mBot robot. Moreira’s contributions lie in demonstrating that learning is not merely a cognitive process but an embodied, situated, and socially distributed activity deeply shaped by the dynamic feedback loops between people and responsive technologies. She has been instrumental in advancing the theoretical framework of socioenactive systems, which considers how human action and system reactivity co-constitute experience. With 17 citations on this foundational work, her research is gaining traction among scholars designing next-generation interactive learning environments. Moreira’s achievements include pioneering empirical methods to capture the subtle, often non-verbal, collaborative dynamics in human-robot interaction, offering vital insights for creating more engaging and effective socio-technical learning spaces.
