About
Dr. Lynn McGarvey’s research sits at the intersection of mathematics education, inclusive pedagogy, and educational technology. Her work explores how students—particularly those with physical disabilities—engage with mathematics through innovative tools and collaborative design. In her highly cited 2017 study, she examined a video case of children designing and coding with robotics, revealing the rich, multidisciplinary learning that emerges when young learners program tangible objects. This work has garnered 11 citations and underscores her commitment to hands-on, inquiry-based STEM learning. More recently, in a 2022 qualitative multiple case study (7 citations), Dr. McGarvey investigated the environmental facilitators and barriers affecting K–12 students with physical disabilities as they used assistive technology strategies—specifically LEGO Mindstorms robots and computers—in mathematics lessons. Her findings illuminate critical design principles for inclusive classrooms, showing how thoughtful technology integration can empower all learners. Through these contributions, Dr. McGarvey has advanced our understanding of equitable mathematics instruction, demonstrating that coding and robotics are not just for the able-bodied but can be powerful tools for fostering mathematical reasoning and agency in every student.
