About
Dr. Kyunghyun Kim is a leading voice in educational technology, with a focused expertise in robot-based education (RBE) and its integration into school curricula. Her foundational research investigates the critical human factors that determine the success of educational robotics, specifically examining the perceptions of both teachers and students. In her pivotal 2014 study, Dr. Kim surveyed 116 Korean elementary, middle, and high school teachers with RBE experience, revealing key insights into how educators perceive the implementation of robotics within the national curriculum. This work, cited 4 times, established a crucial baseline for understanding teacher readiness. Building on this, her 2015 research analyzed data from 150 middle school students to track how their perception of teacher characteristics changed before and after robot-based instruction. By bridging the gap between technological implementation and pedagogical impact, Dr. Kim’s work provides essential guidance for designing effective teacher training programs and student-centered learning environments, making her a key contributor to the practical advancement of robotics in education.
