About
Evaggelia Tsiomi’s research sits at the vital intersection of special education, educational robotics, and inclusive pedagogy. Her work focuses on designing and empirically testing cooperative strategies that enable children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to meaningfully participate in robotics activities alongside their typically developing peers. In her most-cited study (2020, 11 citations), she conducted qualitative action research with four children aged 12–14, demonstrating how structured cooperative learning can foster social interaction and engagement in inclusive robotics settings. Building on this foundation, her 2022 work introduced the SAS (Structure, Anticipation, Scaffolding) strategy training, an innovative intervention framework that guides educators in supporting children with ASD during collaborative robotics tasks. Though early in her career, Tsiomi’s contributions are significant for their practical, classroom-ready approach to inclusion. Her research directly addresses a critical gap: how to make the hands-on, team-based nature of educational robotics accessible to neurodiverse learners. By providing evidence-based strategies rather than just theoretical frameworks, Tsiomi is helping shape a more equitable future for STEM education, where all children can benefit from the cognitive and social opportunities that robotics offers.
