About
Luciano Moreira is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of science education, social psychology, and emerging technologies. His primary research areas include the social representations of science and technology, particularly how young people perceive fields like green chemistry and robotics. In his most-cited study, "The Social Representations of (Green) Chemistry and Robotics Among Teenagers: An Exploratory Study" (2016), Moreira investigates how adolescents construct meaning around these scientific domains, revealing the cultural and emotional filters that shape their interest or disinterest. This work is foundational for educators and policymakers aiming to bridge the gap between public perception and scientific reality. While his citation count is modest (2 citations), the study’s value lies in its qualitative depth and its role in informing more inclusive science communication strategies. Moreira’s contributions highlight the importance of understanding social context in STEM engagement, making his research a critical resource for those designing curricula or outreach programs. His work underscores that effective science education must first listen to how learners think.
