About

Eun Young Kang is a leading researcher at the intersection of special education, mathematics instruction, and educational technology. Her work centers on how technology can be leveraged to improve mathematics learning for students with disabilities, a critical area where evidence-based practices are urgently needed. In her landmark 2023 study, Kang conducted a comprehensive content analysis of 488 studies spanning four decades (1980–2021), using advanced computational methods like word networks and structural topic modeling to map the field’s evolution. This work, which has already garnered 19 citations, revealed that while “computer” has been a persistent keyword, the field is shifting toward more personalized and interactive technologies. Kang’s major contribution lies in providing a systematic, data-driven framework for understanding trends and gaps in this research domain, offering a roadmap for future interventions. Her work is notable for its methodological rigor, combining big data analytics with deep pedagogical insight. By synthesizing decades of research, Kang has helped educators and policymakers identify which technologies truly support mathematical understanding for students with diverse learning needs, making her a pivotal voice in inclusive STEM education.
