About
Maria Beatrice Ligorio is a distinguished scholar whose research lies at the intersection of educational technology, dialogic learning, and collaborative knowledge building. Her work fundamentally explores how digital tools—from educational robotics to cloud-based animation and visual programming—can transform classroom interactions into rich, dialogic spaces. In her highly cited 2022 study, Ligorio demonstrates that integrating robotics and coding into lower secondary education opens new avenues for student dialogue and deep learning, challenging conventional views of technology as merely a delivery mechanism. This contribution is particularly notable for bridging the gap between computational thinking and sociocultural theories of learning, showing how hands-on, technology-mediated activities foster meaningful peer interaction. With a career dedicated to understanding how digital environments reshape educational practices, Ligorio’s research has garnered significant attention from scholars in learning sciences, educational technology, and dialogic pedagogy. Her work continues to influence curriculum design and teacher training, offering practical pathways for educators to harness technology not just as a tool, but as a catalyst for collaborative inquiry and student voice.
