About
Javier Arlegui is a prominent researcher in the field of educational robotics (ER) and constructivist pedagogy, whose work has significantly shaped how robotics is integrated into K-12 classrooms across Europe. His research sits at the intersection of science education, teacher training, and technology-enhanced learning, with a particular focus on inquiry-based science education (IBSE), problem-based learning (PBL), and constructionist methodologies. Arlegui's most influential contribution, "Representative Examples of Implementing Educational Robotics in School" (2008, 41 citations), demonstrated how robotics can serve as a versatile pedagogical tool spanning computer science, mathematics, design, and science education. His involvement in the pan-European TERECoP project (2006–2009) further cemented his reputation, producing collaborative frameworks for teacher training in robotic technology adopted across multiple countries including Greece, France, Romania, and Italy. Beyond teacher education, Arlegui has championed hands-on, student-centered learning through tools like LEGO NXT and BYOB programming environments in primary school settings. With a cumulative citation count surpassing 100, his body of work offers both theoretical grounding and practical classroom strategies, making him an essential reference for educators and researchers seeking to meaningfully embed robotics into formal and informal learning environments.
