About
Yi-Chun Hong is a leading researcher in K-12 STEM education, with a focus on computational thinking (CT) development and collaborative problem-solving in technology-rich learning environments. Her work bridges the gap between programming skill acquisition and the underlying cognitive processes that drive computational thinking, particularly through innovative robotics programs. In her highly cited 2021 study, Hong examined how elementary students develop CT skills during collaborative problem-solving in a STEM-integrated robotics context, expanding the traditional focus beyond mere coding proficiency to include critical thinking and teamwork dynamics. This research has garnered significant attention (4 citations) for its practical implications in curriculum design and classroom practice. Hong’s contributions are notable for integrating real-world problem-solving with technology education, offering educators evidence-based strategies to foster CT in young learners. Her work continues to shape how K-12 programs approach STEM learning, emphasizing the importance of collaborative processes in developing future-ready skills.
