About

Angeliki Antoniou is a researcher specializing in educational robotics, computer science education, and the development of 21st-century skills in primary school settings. Her work centers on harnessing the pedagogical potential of robotics as a platform for cultivating collaboration, programming competency, and student motivation in formal educational environments. Antoniou's most influential contribution is her methodological framework for developing collaboration skills through educational robotics, most recently crystallized in her CORE (Collaboration-Oriented Robotics Education) methodology. Her 2023 study on collaboration skills in primary schools has already garnered 21 citations, reflecting strong scholarly uptake. Her observational research into the Pan-Hellenic Educational Robotics Competition — examining both teacher and student perspectives — has provided valuable empirical insight into how competitive robotics contexts shape attitudes toward learning, earning 17 citations since 2017. Beyond collaboration, Antoniou has explored physical computing as a gateway to computer science engagement, demonstrating measurable improvements in student self-efficacy and programming attitudes. With a growing body of work spanning nearly a decade, her research offers educators and policymakers evidence-based strategies for integrating robotics meaningfully into curricula, making her a notable voice in the intersection of technology, pedagogy, and skills development.
