About
Kyparisia Papanikolaou is a prominent researcher in the field of educational technology, with a particular focus on educational robotics (ER) and constructivist approaches to teaching and learning. Her work has made significant contributions to understanding how robotics can serve as a powerful pedagogical tool across multiple disciplines, including computer science, mathematics, design, and science education. Papanikolaou is perhaps best known for her involvement in the TERECoP (Teacher Education on Robotics-Enhanced Constructivist Pedagogical Methods) project, a collaborative European initiative running from 2006 to 2009. Through this project, she helped develop and implement innovative constructivist methodologies for training teachers to integrate robotics meaningfully into their classrooms. Her research demonstrates how hands-on, project-based robotics activities can transform both teaching practice and student engagement. Her most cited work, "Representative examples of implementing educational robotics in school based on the constructivist approach" (2008), has garnered 41 citations and remains a foundational reference in the field. Collectively, her publications have accumulated nearly 90 citations, reflecting her meaningful influence on educators and researchers exploring robotics as a vehicle for constructivist learning. Her scholarship continues to inform teacher training programs and school-based robotics initiatives internationally.
