About
Elena Jurado is a leading researcher in educational technology, with a focus on integrating robotics and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning into early childhood education. Her most cited work, "Social STEAM Learning at an Early Age with Robotic Platforms: A Case Study in Four Schools in Spain" (2020, 59 citations), demonstrates how robotic platforms can foster collaborative, hands-on learning among young students, addressing the critical gap between technological advances and classroom practice. Jurado’s research emphasizes the social dimension of learning, showing that robotics not only teaches coding and engineering concepts but also enhances teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills in primary school children. Her case studies provide practical, evidence-based strategies for teachers who often lack training in these tools, making her work highly influential among educators and curriculum developers. By bridging theory and practice, Jurado has helped shape modern pedagogical approaches to early STEAM education, ensuring that even the youngest learners are prepared for a technology-driven world. Her contributions are vital for anyone interested in how robotics can transform early learning environments.
