About
S. Monfalcon is a leading researcher in educational robotics, with a focus on constructivist pedagogical methods that integrate robotics into school curricula. Her work demonstrates how robotics—combining the construction and programming of models—can serve as a powerful tool for teaching across disciplines, including computer science, technology, design, mathematics, and science education. Monfalcon’s most cited paper, “Representative examples of implementing educational robotics in school based on the constructivist approach” (2008, 41 citations), provides foundational examples of how robotics can address diverse teaching objectives. She has also made significant contributions to teacher training, notably through the TERECoP project (2006–2009), which developed a constructivist methodology for preparing educators to use robotics in classrooms. Her paper “Introducing robotics to teachers and schools: experiences from the TERECoP project” (2010, 25 citations) outlines this approach, while her collaborative work “Teacher training in the scientific field through robotics activities: some experiences from Italy & Spain” (2009, 7 citations) highlights international partnerships with Greece, France, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Italy. Monfalcon’s research has shaped how robotics is implemented in schools, emphasizing hands-on, student-centered learning that bridges theory and practice.
