About
Ali Hamidi is an emerging educational technology researcher whose work centers on computational thinking (CT), digital competence, and systems thinking in K-12 and early childhood education. His research addresses a pressing challenge in modern pedagogy: how to equip young learners and future educators with the problem-solving skills demanded by an increasingly digital world. Hamidi has made notable contributions by exploring the intersection of systems thinking and computational thinking, arguing that a holistic, interconnected approach to CT education yields deeper and more transferable learning outcomes. His 2023 and 2024 studies systematically examine how systems thinking frameworks can advance CT instruction, while his 2022 work specifically targets preschool pre-service teachers — a traditionally underserved population in digital competency research — highlighting the importance of embedding CT skills early in teacher preparation programs. Though his citation record is still developing, with each of his key works accumulating citations since 2022, Hamidi's consistent focus on 21st-century skill-building for children and educators positions him as a thoughtful contributor to the educational technology field. His research is particularly valuable for scholars and practitioners seeking evidence-based approaches to integrating computational and systems thinking across early education curricula.
