About

Daniela Bagattini is a researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of education, technology, and gender equity, with a particular emphasis on educational robotics. Her most-cited paper, "Educational Robotics and the Gender Perspective" (2021), critically examines the role of stereotypes in shaping educational choices, drawing on data that reveals a persistent decline in girls’ enrollment in STEM subjects. Bagattini’s major contribution lies in identifying how social and family expectations, alongside the perception of technical careers, create barriers to female participation in science and technology. By highlighting these systemic influences, she provides a framework for designing more inclusive robotics curricula and pedagogical approaches. Though her citation count is modest, the relevance of her work is growing as educators seek to address gender disparities in STEM. Bagattini’s research is particularly valuable for those interested in how early educational interventions—especially through hands-on robotics—can challenge stereotypes and foster a more diverse future in technology fields. Her work stands as a thoughtful call to action for educators and policymakers alike.
