About
Eynat Leykin is a leading researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on computational thinking, coding, and robotics instruction. Her work centers on understanding how teachers can most effectively develop students’ computational thinking skills through Educational Coding and Robotics (ECR). Leykin’s most cited study, “Professional Development of Code and Robotics Teachers Through Small Private Online Course (SPOC)” (2020, 51 citations), investigates the pedagogical strategies that foster computational thinking and examines the degree of teacher centrality in ECR classrooms. This research also explores the added value of Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs) as a professional development tool, highlighting how targeted online training can enhance teacher effectiveness. By bridging teacher professional development with student learning outcomes, Leykin’s contributions provide practical frameworks for integrating coding and robotics into curricula. Her work is particularly valuable for educators and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to preparing teachers for technology-rich classrooms. With her focus on scalable online training models, Leykin continues to shape how computational thinking is taught globally, ensuring that both teachers and students thrive in an increasingly digital world.
