About

Brenda Calado Oueiroz is a dedicated researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on teacher training and the integration of Educational Robotics into public school classrooms. Her most-cited work, “Analysis of Teacher Training in Educational Robotics with URA Workshops” (2020, 8 citations), presents and analyzes a pioneering model for preparing Brazilian public school teachers to effectively use robotics as a pedagogical tool. This contribution addresses a critical gap in the adoption of technology in education, moving beyond simple device usage to empower educators with practical, hands-on workshop strategies. Oueiroz’s research underscores the transformative potential of robotics in reshaping learning environments, particularly in under-resourced settings. By centering on teacher development, she highlights that meaningful technological change in education begins with skilled and confident instructors. Her work has garnered attention for its actionable framework, offering a replicable model for other regions seeking to bridge the digital divide. Oueiroz’s scholarship is essential reading for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in the human element of educational innovation, proving that the most impactful technologies are those that first equip the teachers who will wield them.
