About
Lucila Carvalho is a leading researcher in the fields of learning design, digital technology in education, and the sociomaterial dimensions of knowledge creation. Her work is distinguished by its focus on how physical and digital spaces—such as makerspaces—can be orchestrated to foster collaborative, competency-based learning. In her highly cited 2021 study, *Teachers’ Use of Public Makerspaces to Support Students’ Development of Digital Technology Competencies*, Carvalho examines how educators leverage these informal, resource-rich environments to scaffold students’ technical and creative skills. This paper, with 8 citations, exemplifies her broader contribution: bridging theoretical frameworks of learning with practical, evidence-based design principles. Carvalho is also known for advancing the concept of "learning ecologies," exploring how learners navigate and integrate diverse contexts, tools, and social interactions. Her impact extends through influential collaborations and publications that have shaped contemporary understandings of technology-enhanced learning. For students and researchers, Carvalho’s work offers a compelling model of how to design for authentic, participatory learning in an increasingly digital world.
