About
Kern D. Mojica’s research centers on technology education and its impact on higher-order critical thinking in middle school students. His most-cited work, a quasi-experimental quantitative study published in 2010, examined the ordered effects of technology education units—specifically Lego® Mindstorms™ NXT Robotics and Digital Storytelling with Micros—on 105 eighth graders at a suburban New York middle school. Over seven months, Mojica demonstrated how sequential, hands-on technology curricula can systematically enhance students’ analytical and problem-solving skills. Though his citation count (4) reflects a focused niche, this study provides foundational evidence for integrating robotics and digital media into STEM pedagogy. Mojica’s work underscores the value of structured, project-based learning in cultivating critical thinking during early adolescence, offering practical insights for educators designing technology-rich classrooms. His research contributes to the broader conversation on how engineering and digital literacy can be leveraged to develop cognitive skills essential for 21st-century learners.
