About

Daoquan Li is a researcher in educational technology and computer science education, with a focus on embodied learning and computational thinking in K-12 settings. Their most cited work, a 2009 case study, explores how elementary school students develop programming skills through hands-on, embodied experiences in an after-school LEGO robotics program. This research highlights the value of physical, interactive activities—such as building and programming robots—in making abstract coding concepts accessible and engaging for young learners. By demonstrating how tangible, movement-based learning can bridge the gap between theory and practice, Li’s work contributes to the growing field of embodied cognition in education. Although the citation count for this foundational study is modest, it has informed subsequent research on integrating robotics and play into STEM curricula. Li’s contributions underscore the importance of designing learning environments that leverage physical interaction to foster problem-solving and logical thinking, offering practical insights for educators and curriculum developers aiming to introduce programming to children in inclusive, motivating ways.
