About

Francesc M. Esteve-Mon is a prominent educational technology researcher whose work sits at the intersection of digital competence, computational thinking, and educational robotics. Based in Spain, his scholarship addresses one of the most pressing challenges in contemporary education: preparing learners and teachers for an increasingly digitalized world shaped by artificial intelligence, robotics, and immersive technologies. His most influential contribution, "Digital Competence in the Knowledge Society" (2015), has garnered 191 citations, establishing him as a key voice in defining the skills and literacies students require to navigate modern technological environments. This foundational work has informed curriculum design and educational policy discussions across Europe and beyond. Esteve-Mon has also made significant strides in teacher education, demonstrating through empirical intervention studies how educational robotics can meaningfully develop computational thinking in pre-service teachers — research that has attracted 59 citations and resonates deeply with ongoing debates about STEM integration in teacher training programs. His work extends to early childhood education, exploring how robotics can foster transversal competencies in young learners through play-based, challenge-driven learning. Together, his publications paint the portrait of a researcher committed to bridging emerging technologies with practical, inclusive pedagogical innovation.
