About
Shlomit Hadad is a leading researcher in educational technology, with a sharp focus on how teachers can effectively integrate coding and robotics into K-12 classrooms. Her work centers on developing computational thinking in students through innovative pedagogical strategies. Hadad’s most influential contribution is her pioneering study on the professional development of code and robotics teachers via Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs). This work, which has garnered over 50 citations, critically examines the balance between teacher centrality and student-led exploration in Educational Coding and Robotics (ECR) environments. By demonstrating how SPOCs can empower educators to move beyond traditional instruction, she provides a scalable model for training teachers to foster problem-solving and logical reasoning in their students. Hadad’s research is essential for anyone interested in the practical implementation of computer science education, offering evidence-based frameworks that bridge the gap between teacher training and student outcomes. Her work is a cornerstone for modern STEM pedagogy.
