About

Afra Lathifah is an emerging educational technology researcher whose work focuses on the integration of robotics, computational thinking, and STEM education across diverse learning environments. Her scholarship addresses one of the most pressing challenges in contemporary education: preparing students with the technical competencies and problem-solving skills demanded by an increasingly technology-driven world. Lathifah's most recognized contribution, "Computational Thinking Development: Benefiting from Educational Robotics in STEM Teaching" (2022), has garnered 23 citations and examines how robotics-based learning experiences can cultivate computational thinking skills critical for future career readiness. Complementing this work, her 2019 paper on robotics education in primary schools, with 17 citations, explores how early exposure to robotics activities — from primary through graduate levels — can meaningfully shape teaching and learning outcomes within STEM frameworks. Together, her publications reflect a sustained commitment to understanding how hands-on, technology-integrated pedagogies can be implemented effectively at multiple educational stages. With a growing citation record and research agenda that bridges theory and classroom practice, Lathifah represents a valuable voice in the global conversation around innovative STEM education and the future of learning.
