About
Yiching Chen is an educational technology researcher whose work centers on STEM education, robotics curriculum design, and hands-on learning methodologies. With a focus on bridging theoretical frameworks and practical classroom implementation, Chen has made significant contributions to how educators integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines into cohesive, engaging learning experiences for secondary students. Among Chen's most influential work is a 2018 study examining an integrated robotics STEM course built around a sailboat theme, which garnered 56 citations and demonstrated measurable improvements in high school students' perceptions of STEM integration, academic interest, and career orientation. This research highlighted the power of contextualized, project-based learning in sparking long-term student engagement. Building on this foundation, Chen's 2020 study (54 citations) applied mastery learning theory to Arduino-based educational robotics, employing a convergent parallel mixed-methods design to assess both psychomotor performance and student perception among tenth-grade learners. Together, these contributions position Chen as a leading voice in educational robotics pedagogy, demonstrating how thoughtfully designed, hands-on curricula can meaningfully shape students' STEM identities, skills, and future career aspirations.
