About
Janet Bih Fofang is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of mathematics education, computational thinking (CT), and embodied cognition. Her scholarship focuses on how young learners engage with STEM concepts through integrated, technology-enhanced learning environments, particularly robotics-based activities. Fofang's research draws on grounded and embodied cognition (GEC) frameworks to investigate how children use multiple modalities — physical movement, gesture, and symbolic representation — to reason through geometric and computational concepts. In her 2025 work on embodiment and geometry, Fofang illuminates how young students leverage bodily experiences to make sense of abstract mathematical ideas within CT-enriched robotics tasks, offering meaningful insights for curriculum design at the elementary level. Her complementary study on symbolic representations further examines how learners interact with CT concepts as problem-solving tools, advancing understanding of how to better support and assess computational thinking in early STEM education. Though early in her career — with cited publications from 2025 — Fofang's contributions address a timely and critical need in education research. Her innovative, multimodal approach positions her as a promising voice in efforts to make integrated STEM learning more accessible, meaningful, and effective for young learners.
