About

Shinnosuke Mori is a dedicated education researcher specializing in robotics programming education for young learners, with a particular focus on integrating computational thinking into elementary and junior high school curricula in Japan. His work has been instrumental in addressing the growing national imperative to equip children with programming skills, aligning closely with Japan's evolving educational policy mandates that introduced compulsory programming education across multiple school levels. Mori's most influential contribution, "Robotics Programming Learning for Elementary and Junior High School Students" (2017), has garnered 25 citations and stands as a foundational reference in the field of K-12 robotics education. His earlier practical study from 2014 documented hands-on classroom experiments using LEGO Mindstorms, demonstrating how children could meaningfully engage with programming through tangible, self-directed robot control. Building on this foundation, his 2019 work advanced the field further by proposing image-based quantitative evaluation methods to assess student programming achievement, addressing the nuanced challenge of measuring learning outcomes beyond simple task completion. Through this body of work, Mori has meaningfully contributed to both the theory and practice of youth programming education, offering educators practical frameworks and assessment tools that support individualized learning in an increasingly technology-driven world.
