About

Ju Ling Shih is a researcher whose work centers on the intersection of educational technology, computational thinking, and STEM learning at the elementary school level. Shih's research explores innovative pedagogical approaches that leverage robotics and game-based learning to cultivate foundational computational skills in young learners. Two notable contributions from 2019 examine how interdisciplinary robotic games can serve as powerful vehicles for developing computational thinking — particularly algorithmic reasoning — among elementary students, while simultaneously advancing their understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. By situating complex computational concepts within engaging, game-based robotic activities, Shih's work challenges traditional instructional methods and offers educators a compelling framework for integrated STEM education in early schooling. Though still building in citation impact, both studies have begun attracting scholarly attention, collectively accumulating citations that underscore their relevance to the growing field of K-12 computational education. Shih's contributions are particularly timely given global emphasis on preparing young students for an increasingly digital world, making this research a valuable resource for educators, curriculum designers, and policy makers focused on early STEM integration.
