About

Ji Yong Park is a leading researcher in the intersection of early childhood education, collaborative learning, and robotics. His work focuses on how young children use language and physical tools to solve problems together, particularly within human-robot interaction contexts. Park’s most influential study, “The architecture of children’s use of language and tools when problem solving collaboratively with robotics” (2013), has garnered 27 citations and provides a foundational framework for understanding the cognitive and communicative strategies children employ when working with robotic partners. This research is pivotal for designing educational technologies that support peer collaboration and problem-solving in early learning environments. Park’s contributions have shaped how educators and technologists approach the integration of robotics into classrooms, emphasizing the critical role of dialogue and tool use in fostering teamwork and critical thinking. His work continues to inspire new directions in developmental robotics and collaborative learning, making him a key voice in the growing field of child-robot interaction.
