About

Je-eun Baek is a leading researcher in educational robotics and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education, with a focus on integrating robot-based learning into elementary school curricula. Her most influential work, "Development and Application of the STEAM Education Program Based on the Soccer Robot for Elementary Students" (2018, 13 citations), demonstrates her core contribution: designing and validating hands-on, theme-driven programs that make abstract STEM concepts tangible through robot soccer. Baek’s research shows that robot-based activities significantly enhance students’ creativity and engagement, as evidenced by her study on "The Influence of Robot-Based Learning on Elementary School Students’ Creativity" (2016). She also provides critical insights into systemic implementation through "A Study on the Teachers' Perception of School Curriculum Implementation about Robot-based Education in Korea" (2014), which surveyed over 100 teachers to identify barriers and best practices. By bridging curriculum standards with playful robotics, Baek has shaped how educators in Korea and beyond adopt technology in classrooms. Her work is essential for anyone interested in practical, child-centered approaches to STEAM education.
