About
Dr. Alexis Goh Phaik Imm is a researcher at the forefront of educational technology, specializing in the integration of robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance STEM learning and computational thinking. Her work critically examines how hands-on interaction with tangible technologies—such as robots and IoT objects—can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skill acquisition, particularly for programming-novice learners. In her most-cited study (2020, 12 citations), Dr. Goh demonstrated that while both robots and IoT objects significantly boost STEM outcomes, their effects vary based on learners’ prior programming experience, offering nuanced insights for curriculum design. Her research is notable for its focus on master’s-level students, a demographic often overlooked in K-12 centered STEM studies, highlighting her commitment to advancing higher education pedagogy. By empirically comparing the motivational and cognitive impacts of these technologies, Dr. Goh provides educators with evidence-based strategies to foster deeper engagement and computational thinking. Her work stands as a vital contribution to the growing field of tech-enhanced learning, guiding how future classrooms can leverage smart objects to cultivate the next generation of innovators.
