About

Marievie Panayiotou is an educational researcher whose work explores the integration of robotics and hands-on learning tools in primary science education. Her most-cited study, "Using LEGO Mindstorms as an Instructional Tool to Teach Science in Primary Education" (2017, 3 citations), demonstrates her focus on leveraging accessible technology to enhance student engagement and conceptual understanding in early science curricula. Panayiotou’s research contributes to the growing field of STEM education by providing practical, evidence-based strategies for teachers to incorporate programmable robotics into classroom instruction. While her citation count is modest, her work addresses a critical gap in pedagogical resources for primary-level science, offering replicable models that bridge theoretical learning with tangible, interactive experiences. Her findings underscore the potential of LEGO Mindstorms to foster problem-solving skills and collaborative learning among young students, positioning her as a thoughtful advocate for innovative, low-cost instructional tools. Panayiotou’s scholarship is particularly valuable for educators seeking to modernize science teaching and inspire the next generation of learners through playful, technology-rich environments.
