About
Vassilis Komis is a prominent educational technology researcher whose work sits at the intersection of computational thinking, educational robotics, and early childhood education. His scholarship has made significant contributions to understanding how young children — particularly preschoolers and primary school students — develop foundational programming and problem-solving skills through tangible robotic environments. His 2014 conceptual framework for designing educational robotics scenarios has become a key reference in the field, accumulating 81 citations, while his work on scenario-based approaches and collaborative problem solving has further shaped pedagogical design in educational robotics. Notably, his 2023 study involving 526 preschool children investigating debugging as a high-level thinking skill demonstrates his commitment to empirically grounding theoretical frameworks in real classroom contexts. Komis has also contributed meaningfully to the Greek educational landscape, examining the practical implementation of robotics in Greek schools and influencing national curriculum conversations. With publications spanning French, English, and Greek contexts, his research reflects an international scope and enduring dedication to making computational thinking accessible from the earliest stages of formal education.
