About
Hongze Liu is a leading scholar at the intersection of early childhood education (ECE) and digital innovation. Their research primarily explores how artificial intelligence, intelligent systems, and algorithmic approaches are reshaping pedagogical practices for young learners. Liu’s seminal scoping review, “Forms and functions innovation,” systematically analyzed 29 empirical studies from 2010 to 2024, offering a groundbreaking framework for understanding how digital technologies can be meaningfully integrated into ECE classrooms. This work, already garnering 9 citations since its 2025 publication, challenges the prevailing focus on data-driven outcomes by emphasizing the nuanced forms and functions of technology in early learning environments. Liu’s contributions are pivotal in moving the field beyond mere tool adoption toward a deeper, more critical examination of how AI and digital tools can support child development, creativity, and play. By bridging computer science and education, Liu provides essential guidance for educators, policymakers, and technologists seeking to design age-appropriate, ethically sound digital experiences for young children. Their work is rapidly becoming a cornerstone reference for researchers and practitioners navigating the complex landscape of technology in early childhood.
