About

Assel Zhumabayeva is an emerging scholar whose work sits at the intersection of educational robotics, design thinking, and technology-enhanced learning. Her research explores how creative problem-solving frameworks can be integrated with hands-on technical tools to foster deeper engagement in STEM education. In her most cited work, “Design Thinking as an Auxiliary Tool for Educational Robotics Classes” (2023, 21 citations), Zhumabayeva investigates how the proliferation of 3D printing and open-source electronics platforms has expanded the toolkit available for educational robotics. She argues that design thinking provides a structured yet flexible methodology that helps students navigate the complexity of prototyping, iteration, and user-centered design within robotics curricula. This contribution is particularly timely as educators seek to bridge the gap between technical skill acquisition and creative innovation. While her citation count is still growing, her work signals a thoughtful integration of pedagogical theory with emerging technologies. Zhumabayeva’s research offers practical insights for educators and curriculum designers aiming to make robotics education more inclusive, iterative, and aligned with real-world problem-solving.
