About
Hasan Deniz is a science education researcher whose work sits at the intersection of STEM pedagogy, educational robotics, and teacher preparation. His scholarship focuses on equipping preservice and in-service teachers with the tools, confidence, and conceptual frameworks needed to bring engineering design, computational thinking, and robotics into K-12 classrooms. Deniz's most influential contribution, a 2017 study on introducing engineering design to elementary science methods courses through educational robotics, has garnered 56 citations, underscoring its significance in reshaping how future teachers conceptualize engineering education. His research consistently engages with the demands of the Next Generation Science Standards, particularly around computational thinking self-efficacy — an emerging area he has helped define and measure through dedicated instrumentation for preservice elementary teachers. Beyond domestic contexts, Deniz's reach extends internationally, with work preparing Ugandan secondary teachers for robotics competitions, reflecting a commitment to global STEM equity. His more recent scholarship addresses the inclusion of multilingual and Hispanic/Latinx learners in computer science and STEM through robotics, demonstrating an evolving concern for equity and access. Across platforms ranging from Hummingbird kits to EV3 systems, Deniz has been a steady voice advocating for hands-on, technology-rich learning experiences that prepare diverse student populations for an increasingly technological world.
