About
Italo Masiello’s research sits at the intersection of digital competence, computational thinking, and early childhood education. His work focuses on equipping preschool pre-service teachers with the 21st-century skills necessary to navigate and shape increasingly digital and technical environments. Masiello’s key contribution lies in framing computational thinking not merely as a technical skill but as a fundamental thought process for problem-solving—one that must be integrated into teacher training from the earliest stages. In his highly cited 2022 paper, “Digital Competence & Computational Thinking for Preschool Pre-service Teachers,” he argues that CT is an emerging trend that forms a core component of digital competence, offering a roadmap for embedding these abilities into curricula. While his citation count is still growing, his work is already shaping conversations about how to prepare educators for tomorrow’s classrooms. Masiello’s research is notable for its forward-looking perspective, bridging the gap between abstract digital literacy frameworks and practical, actionable training for those who will teach the next generation.
