About
David Fonseca is a leading researcher at the intersection of educational technology, computational thinking, and inclusive robotics. His work primarily focuses on integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines through project-based learning and robotic platforms, with a strong emphasis on early childhood and primary education. Fonseca’s major contributions include demonstrating how educational robotics can foster social STEAM learning in young students, as evidenced by his highly cited 2020 study across four schools in Spain (59 citations). He has also systematically analyzed learning methodologies and analytics for robotics sensors in primary and secondary education (46 citations). More recently, Fonseca has pioneered the use of personalized robotic interventions for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developing interactive systems to enhance language and social skills. His 2024 work on creating personalized profiles for ASD students marks a significant step toward inclusive education technologies. With over 180 total citations across his most influential papers, Fonseca is recognized for bridging computational thinking, robotics, and inclusive pedagogy, making him a key figure in modern educational technology research.
