About

Dr. Carlos Cordeiro is a dedicated researcher in computing education, with a primary focus on innovative pedagogical approaches to teaching computer programming. His most influential work, "A solution to support student learning of programming" (2012, 18 citations), addresses persistent challenges in programming education by introducing the dragon-robot framework—a robotics-based intervention designed to make abstract coding concepts tangible and engaging for learners. This contribution stands out for its practical, hands-on methodology, bridging the gap between theoretical instruction and applied skill development. Dr. Cordeiro’s research systematically identifies learning obstacles and proposes evidence-based solutions, demonstrating a commitment to improving student outcomes in computer science. While his citation count reflects a focused but impactful body of work, his emphasis on integrating robotics into curricula has inspired educators seeking interactive learning tools. His efforts highlight the potential of cross-disciplinary approaches to enhance programming education, making him a thoughtful contributor to the ongoing conversation about effective teaching strategies in computing.
