About

Dr. Fengfeng Ke is a leading scholar in the integration of computational thinking (CT) and inclusive education, with a particular focus on neurodiversity and executive function. Her most-cited work, "Including neurodiversity in computational thinking" (2024, 9 citations), pioneers a critical intersection between CT foundational practices and the cognitive differences inherent in neurodivergent learners. By analyzing CT teaching materials designed to support executive function, Ke demonstrates how inclusive design can make computational learning accessible to all students, challenging traditional one-size-fits-all pedagogical approaches. This work builds on her broader research into game-based learning, virtual environments, and adaptive technologies for diverse learners. Ke’s contributions have reshaped how educators and technologists think about equity in STEM education, earning her recognition as a transformative voice in learning sciences. Her research not only advances theoretical frameworks but also provides practical, evidence-based strategies for differentiating instruction. With a career dedicated to bridging cognitive science and educational technology, Ke continues to influence how computational thinking is taught, ensuring that neurodiversity is not an afterthought but a foundational design principle.
