About

Dr. FD Hilmi is a dedicated researcher in computing education and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on integrating tangible, hands-on technologies to enhance programming pedagogy. Their most cited work, "Development of constructionist robotics to facilitate learning in C programming course" (2020, 4 citations), represents a significant contribution to constructionist learning theory in computer science education. Hilmi’s research addresses a critical challenge: the disengagement students often experience when learning programming through traditional, syntax-heavy, stationary computer-based methods. By developing and implementing a robotic module, Hilmi demonstrated that a task-oriented, real-life interaction with code can transform the learning experience, making abstract concepts more concrete and motivating. This work aligns with the broader movement toward physical computing and educational robotics, offering a practical, replicable framework for educators. While their citation count reflects the emerging nature of this specific study, the work’s foundational approach to bridging the gap between theoretical programming and applied, interactive problem-solving marks Hilmi as an innovator in active learning strategies. Their contributions are particularly valuable for researchers and instructors seeking to modernize introductory programming curricula and foster deeper student engagement through constructionist, project-based methodologies.
