About

Giovanni Bonaiuti is a leading voice in the integration of educational robotics (ER) within pedagogical practice, with a focused research agenda that spans systematic review, psychometric assessment, and the cultivation of 21st-century skills. His most-cited work, a 2022 systematic review of ER studies in Italian scientific journals (10 citations), provides a foundational map of the field, revealing how educational robots are increasingly embedded in school settings to enhance learning. Bonaiuti further advanced the discipline by developing and validating the Robotics Interest Questionnaire (RIQ) scale for Italian teachers (2023, 5 citations), a critical tool for measuring educators’ perceptions and self-efficacy—key factors that directly influence the success of ER integration. His editorial work (2023, 4 citations) underscores his commitment to positioning ER as a catalyst for fostering digital citizenship and essential competencies. Through these contributions, Bonaiuti not only charts the current landscape of educational robotics but also equips researchers and practitioners with validated instruments to assess and improve teacher readiness, solidifying his impact as a methodological innovator in technology-enhanced learning.
