About
Dr. Manshuk Abdikarimova is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction and educational technology, with a particular focus on language acquisition in unique sociolinguistic contexts. Her most cited work, "A Comparison of Social Robot to Tablet and Teacher in a New Script Learning Context" (2020, 51 citations), investigates the effectiveness of social robots versus traditional tablets and human teachers in teaching literacy during Kazakhstan’s historic transition from Cyrillic to a Latin-based alphabet. This study stands out for addressing a rare convergence of pedagogical, technological, and cultural challenges, demonstrating how social robots can support script learning in real-world educational reforms. Dr. Abdikarimova’s research bridges cognitive science, human-robot interaction, and applied linguistics, offering practical insights for deploying technology in literacy education. Her work has been influential in shaping discussions on adaptive learning tools in multilingual and transitional societies, earning recognition for its innovative methodology and timely relevance. By exploring how robots can complement human instruction in high-stakes educational shifts, she contributes to the broader field of socially assistive robotics and its applications in global education.
