About
Dr. Hui-Chun Pan is a leading researcher in computational thinking education and STEM pedagogy, with a focus on integrating tangible technologies into project-based learning. Her most-cited work, "Teaching the Concept of Computational Thinking: A STEM-Based Program With Tangible Robots on Project-Based Learning Courses" (2022), has garnered 32 citations and represents a pivotal contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Pan demonstrates how tangible robots can bridge abstract computational concepts with hands-on, student-centered learning, offering a practical framework for educators to cultivate computational thinking in K-12 settings. Her research addresses the critical challenge of making computational thinking accessible and engaging, particularly in an era where computing literacy is essential for informed citizenship and STEM success. By designing and evaluating curriculum that integrates robotics with project-based learning, Dr. Pan has provided empirical evidence for effective pedagogical strategies that foster problem-solving, algorithmic reasoning, and creativity. Her work is widely cited by scholars and practitioners seeking evidence-based approaches to STEM education reform. Dr. Pan’s contributions are shaping how educators worldwide prepare students for a computationally saturated world, making her a key voice in the ongoing dialogue about 21st-century skill development.
