About
Gertrud Lynge Esbensen is a dedicated researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on the integration of robotics in primary and secondary schools. Her work critically examines the rationales, visions, and practical challenges of using robots in mainstream classrooms, particularly within the Danish "Folkeskole" system. A key contribution is her 2016 report, "Robotter i Folkeskolen," which presents findings from the Technucation project (2011-2015) and her broader research on robots as a future technology. This study, cited 2 times, highlights the gap between educational visions for robotics and the actual, often complex, realities of classroom implementation, including teacher preparedness and pedagogical integration. Esbensen’s research is notable for its grounded, empirical approach, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers navigating the intersection of technology and learning. Her work contributes to a nuanced understanding of how emerging technologies can be meaningfully—and not just superficially—incorporated into educational practice, making her a thoughtful voice in the ongoing dialogue about digitalization in schools.
