About

Caterina La Cascia is a prominent researcher in educational robotics and cognitive skill development, whose work bridges technology and pedagogy to enhance learning outcomes. Her most-cited study, "Educational Robotics to Improve Mathematical and Metacognitive Skills" (2017, 16 citations), demonstrates how hands-on robotics activities can foster mathematical reasoning and self-regulated learning in students. This research highlights her core focus on integrating robotics into educational settings to boost both domain-specific knowledge and higher-order thinking. La Cascia’s contributions extend to exploring how interactive technologies can address metacognitive deficits, offering practical frameworks for teachers and curriculum designers. Her work has influenced the growing field of STEM education, particularly in designing inclusive, engaging tools that support diverse learners. With a career dedicated to empirical studies and classroom applications, La Cascia continues to shape how educators leverage robotics to cultivate critical skills, making her a key voice in the intersection of cognitive science and educational technology.
