About
Ji Young Park is a dedicated early childhood education researcher whose work focuses on integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning with hands-on, technology-free robotics for young learners. Her most cited study, "A study on the development of the STEAM program using unplugged robots for 5-year-old children" (2020), has garnered 2 citations, reflecting her pioneering efforts to make complex STEM concepts accessible and engaging for preschoolers without reliance on digital screens. Park’s major contribution lies in designing developmentally appropriate, unplugged robotics curricula that foster foundational problem-solving, creativity, and collaborative skills in early childhood. By emphasizing tangible, play-based learning, she addresses a critical gap in early STEAM education, offering educators practical tools to introduce computational thinking in a low-tech, inclusive manner. Her work underscores the importance of bridging cognitive development with hands-on exploration, positioning her as a thoughtful advocate for innovative, age-appropriate pedagogies. Park’s research continues to inspire educators and curriculum developers seeking to nurture young children’s curiosity and readiness for future STEM learning.
