About
Julio Pacheco Aparicio is a leading voice in the integration of educational robotics and computational thinking within teacher training. His work focuses on equipping future educators with the pedagogical and technical skills necessary to foster 21st-century competencies in their students. His most influential study, "The Development of Computational Thinking in Student Teachers through an Intervention with Educational Robotics" (2019), has garnered 59 citations, demonstrating its significant impact on the field. This landmark paper provides a concrete, evidence-based model for how structured robotics interventions can systematically improve the computational thinking abilities of student teachers, moving beyond theory to offer a replicable framework for higher education curricula. By targeting the educators themselves, Pacheco Aparicio’s research addresses a critical bottleneck in STEM education: ensuring that teachers are confident and competent to guide the next generation of problem-solvers. His work is essential reading for researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of teacher education, technology integration, and the development of foundational computational skills.
