About
Paraskevi Klonou is an emerging scholar in early childhood education, with a focused research agenda on the integration of computational thinking (CT) and educational robotics at the kindergarten level. Her most-cited work, “Kindergarten Teachers’ Acceptance of Educational Robotics Online Tools for Computational Thinking” (2025), examines the critical factors influencing educators’ willingness to adopt digital tools for CT instruction—a skill increasingly recognized as fundamental for 21st-century learners. By investigating teachers’ perceptions and acceptance of online robotics platforms, Klonou contributes to bridging the gap between policy-level enthusiasm for CT and classroom reality, particularly in early childhood settings where such integration remains nascent. Though her citation count is currently modest, her work addresses a timely and underserved area: the professional development and readiness of kindergarten teachers to facilitate CT. Her research holds practical implications for curriculum designers, teacher trainers, and educational technology developers seeking to support young children’s computational thinking development. As CT continues to gain traction in global curricula, Klonou’s contributions are poised to inform evidence-based strategies for effective, age-appropriate implementation.
