About

Federica Truglio is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of educational technology and social development, with a particular focus on the transformative potential of educational robotics (ER) in school environments. Her research investigates how robotics-based learning experiences can be harnessed not only to advance STEM education across formal, non-formal, and informal contexts, but also to nurture and strengthen the social dynamics within student groups. Truglio's most cited contribution, "Educational Robotics to Foster and Assess Social Relations in Students' Groups" (2020, 9 citations), represents a significant step forward in understanding how robotic tools can serve as a medium for building meaningful interpersonal connections among learners. This work builds upon her earlier studies from 2018, which first explored and empirically supported the idea that educational robotics can measurably improve social relations at school. Together, these publications form a coherent and growing body of evidence that positions robotics as a powerful pedagogical instrument beyond technical skill-building. For students and researchers interested in the social dimensions of technology-enhanced learning, Truglio's work offers valuable insights into how innovative tools can reshape classroom communities and foster collaborative, socially enriching educational experiences.
