About

Christina Pasalidou is an educational technology researcher whose work sits at the intersection of augmented reality (AR), social robotics, and innovative pedagogy. Her research focuses on integrating emerging technologies into K-12 and STEM education, with particular emphasis on how AR and Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) can transform learning environments and enhance student engagement. Among her most notable contributions is her investigation into using AR and social robots to teach traffic safety to kindergarteners, recognizing the critical importance of early-age road safety education — a study that has garnered 9 citations since its 2023 publication. Pasalidou has also addressed urgent contemporary challenges, exploring how educational robotics and AR can sustain meaningful learning during disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Her work spans geography instruction, shared collaborative workspaces, and robotics programming, demonstrating a broad vision for technology-enriched classrooms. Her 2025 systematic literature review synthesizes the growing body of evidence supporting AR and robotics in education, underscoring her role as both practitioner and scholarly synthesizer in the field. With a cumulative citation count approaching 33, Pasalidou's research offers valuable, evidence-based frameworks for educators and technologists designing the classrooms of tomorrow.
