About
Albert Valls is an educational technology researcher whose work sits at the intersection of computational thinking, educational robotics, and innovative pedagogical frameworks. His scholarship focuses on how emerging technologies can be meaningfully integrated into STEAM education to develop critical problem-solving and engineering skills in students. Valls is perhaps best known for his influential 2022 work on integrating computational thinking and educational robotics within Project-Based Learning environments, a paper that has garnered 61 citations and established him as a significant voice in the field. This research examines how contextualized, project-driven activities can transform robotics and computational thinking from supplementary tools into substantive disciplines in their own right. His earlier 2017 study on creativity and contextualization activities in educational robotics further demonstrated his long-standing commitment to understanding how hands-on, imaginative learning experiences can strengthen both engineering competencies and computational reasoning. Across his body of work, Valls consistently champions the idea that technical skills are most effectively cultivated when embedded within meaningful, real-world contexts. His research has provided educators with practical frameworks for delivering richer, more integrated STEAM experiences, making his contributions particularly valuable to curriculum designers, classroom teachers, and fellow education researchers alike.
