About

Giuseppe Alessandri is a researcher whose work centers on the innovative field of Educational Robotics, exploring how robotic technologies can be meaningfully integrated into learning environments. His scholarship bridges creativity and technical education, examining robotics not merely as a functional tool but as a medium for imaginative and narrative-driven pedagogy. Among his notable contributions, Alessandri has investigated the dual approaches of narration and simulation in Educational Robotics, demonstrating how storytelling and physical enactment with robots can work sequentially to enrich student engagement and learning outcomes. Complementing this, his work on robotics as a "medium for fantasy" positions educational technologies as powerful catalysts for competence building and scientific thinking, encouraging learners to transition from consuming imaginative content to actively creating it through robotic platforms. Both of his most recognized papers, published in 2012 and each garnering 4 citations, reflect a consistent commitment to reframing how educators think about technology in the classroom. Alessandri's research speaks particularly to educators and instructional designers seeking evidence-based frameworks for incorporating robotics into curricula in ways that nurture creativity, narrative thinking, and foundational scientific attitudes in young learners.
