About
Kira Pumali is a dedicated researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on the integration of robotics into primary and secondary education. Her work critically examines the rationales, visions, and practical challenges of deploying robots in mainstream classrooms, particularly within the Danish school system. A key contribution is her 2016 report, "Robotter i Folkeskolen," which presents findings from the Technucation project (2011-2015) and subsequent research at DPU, Aarhus University. This study provides a foundational analysis of how robots are used as future technologies in educational settings, highlighting the gap between pedagogical visions and actual classroom implementation. While her most cited work has garnered 2 citations, its value lies in its pioneering, context-specific insights into the obstacles teachers face when integrating robotics into normal classes. Pumali's research is essential for educators and policymakers seeking evidence-based approaches to technology adoption in schools, offering a realistic counterpoint to overly optimistic narratives about educational robots. Her work continues to inform discussions on how to effectively bridge technological innovation with everyday teaching practices.
