About

Hyungshin Choi is a leading researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on teacher ICT capacity building and computational thinking (CT) education. Her work critically examines how educators can adapt to 21st-century learning environments, particularly in the context of South Korea’s advanced digital infrastructure. Her most influential paper, “Enhancing teachers' ICT capacity for the 21st century learning environment: Three cases of teacher education in Korea” (2012, 75 citations), analyzes the evolving demands on teachers as cutting-edge technologies reshape pedagogical roles. This work has become a foundational reference for understanding systemic teacher training in high-tech classrooms. Choi has also pioneered the integration of robotics into K-12 education, developing holistic measures to assess learning effects that connect sociocultural context with CT skills. Her subsequent studies (2014–2020) demonstrate that educational robot-based software convergence education significantly enhances primary students’ computational thinking, creativity, academic interest, and collaborative communication skills. Through her research, Choi bridges the gap between teacher preparation and student-centered, technology-rich learning, offering actionable frameworks for curriculum design. Her contributions are particularly valuable for educators and policymakers seeking to foster digital literacy and collaborative problem-solving in young learners.
