About
Nikleia Eteokleous is a prominent educational technology researcher whose work centers on the integration of educational robotics, computational thinking, and innovative pedagogy in primary and secondary education. Her research has consistently explored how robotics can function as a powerful cognitive and interdisciplinary learning tool, bridging technology with core curricular goals to cultivate 21st-century skills in young learners. Among her most significant contributions is her investigation of educational robotics as a "mindtool" — a framework through which students engage in problem-based learning, creative thinking, and authentic real-world problem solving. Her 2014 study on robotics as a learning tool remains her most-cited work, accumulating 17 citations, and her 2013 piece on interdisciplinary robotics integration in primary education has drawn 12 citations from researchers worldwide. Eteokleous has also examined the critical role of teacher professional development in enabling effective robotics implementation, recognizing educators as essential catalysts for classroom transformation. Her editorial contributions and curriculum development work, including pioneering robotics curricula designed to foster creativity, demonstrate a sustained commitment to shaping both policy and practice. Across her body of work, Eteokleous has established herself as a leading voice in educational robotics research, offering evidence-based frameworks that empower students and teachers alike to thrive in an increasingly digital society.
