About
Dr. MiJeong Kim is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of special education and educational technology, whose work has garnered significant attention for its innovative approach to inclusive learning. Her primary research areas focus on developing computational thinking skills in students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Intellectual Disabilities (ID) through robot programming. In her most-cited study (2024, 6 citations), Dr. Kim demonstrated how robotic teaching tools can effectively enhance computational thinking abilities in this underserved population, addressing a critical gap in existing literature. Her major contribution lies in proving that programming education, when adapted with tangible robotics, can unlock cognitive potential in students who are often excluded from STEM learning. This work has immediate implications for classroom practice, offering educators a concrete methodology to foster problem-solving and logical reasoning in neurodiverse learners. Dr. Kim’s research is notable for its dual impact: advancing theoretical understanding of computational thinking development while providing practical, evidence-based interventions for inclusive education. Her findings are already shaping curriculum design and teacher training programs, positioning her as a leading voice in accessible technology-enhanced learning.
