About

Lorina Y. Calingasan is an educational researcher whose work centers on the integration of technology into early childhood education, with a particular focus on robotics as a pedagogical tool. Her most recognized contributions examine best practices for introducing robotics to young learners, drawing on the Positive Technological Development (PTD) framework to ground her investigations in developmentally appropriate theory. Through detailed case study methodologies, Calingasan has worked to bridge the gap between emerging technologies and early childhood pedagogy, offering practical guidance for educators navigating this rapidly evolving landscape. Her research published in both 2017 and 2018 has collectively garnered 17 citations, reflecting a growing scholarly interest in her findings within the educational technology community. By applying PTD as a theoretical lens, she has helped establish a more rigorous conceptual foundation for understanding how robotics can positively shape young children's learning experiences. Calingasan's work is particularly valuable for educators, curriculum designers, and researchers seeking evidence-based strategies for meaningful technology integration in early childhood settings, making her a notable voice in the conversation around 21st-century learning for the youngest students.
