About
Morgane Chevalier is a leading researcher at the intersection of computational thinking (CT), educational robotics (ER), and computer science (CS) education, with a particular focus on primary school settings. Her most influential work, "Fostering computational thinking through educational robotics: a model for creative computational problem solving" (201 citations), provides a foundational framework for integrating ER into classrooms to develop students' CT skills. She is also the co-creator of the Thymio II robot (109 citations), an accessible educational platform designed to teach robotics and programming to a wide age range. Chevalier's research demonstrates how feedback and guidance interventions can effectively foster CT in young learners (86 citations), and she has evaluated large-scale teacher-training programs that integrate CS and robotics into K-4 curricula (61 citations). Her work on the symbiotic relationship between ER and formal CS education (33 citations) and her studies on gender equity in primary school CS reforms (21 citations) highlight her commitment to broadening participation and closing achievement gaps. With over 600 total citations, Chevalier is a key figure in making computational thinking and robotics accessible, equitable, and pedagogically sound for all students.
