About
Mariacarla Di Gioia is a leading researcher at the intersection of educational technology, cognitive science, and special education, with a primary focus on developing innovative interventions for learning disabilities. Her most impactful work centers on overcoming dyscalculia—a specific learning disorder impairing numerical comprehension and arithmetic reasoning—through the strategic use of educational robotics and game-based learning. In her landmark pilot study (2025), which has already garnered nearly 10 citations, Di Gioia demonstrated how interactive, play-driven technologies can address the cognitive challenges that traditional teaching methods often fail to reach. By integrating robotics and gamification, she provides students with multisensory, engaging pathways to build mathematical skills and problem-solving abilities. Her research not only highlights the limitations of conventional pedagogy for neurodiverse learners but also offers a scalable, evidence-based framework for inclusive education. Di Gioia’s work is pioneering in its practical application of robotics to real-world learning disorders, making her a vital voice in the movement toward personalized, technology-enhanced special education.
