About
Irene Pagello is a pioneering researcher in educational robotics, whose work has fundamentally shaped how constructivist learning theories are applied through technology in classrooms. Her most influential contribution, the 2008 paper "Representative examples of implementing educational robotics in school based on the constructivist approach," has garnered 41 citations and remains a cornerstone reference for educators and researchers alike. Pagello's research demonstrates how combining the construction and programming of robot models can simultaneously address teaching objectives across computer science, technology, design, mathematics, and science education. By grounding robotics in constructivist pedagogy, she has shown that ER is not merely a technical exercise but a powerful interdisciplinary tool that fosters active, hands-on learning. Her work has been instrumental in moving educational robotics from niche extracurricular activities into mainstream curricular integration, providing concrete, replicable examples for teachers worldwide. Pagello’s scholarship continues to inspire new generations of educators to harness robotics as a vehicle for developing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in students, making her a key figure in the ongoing transformation of STEM education.
