About

Masayu Anisa is an emerging researcher in educational technology and child development, with a particular focus on fostering interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among young learners. Her most-cited work, "Peningkatan Minat Anak di Bidang Robotika" (2019), examines how extracurricular robotics programs can spark curiosity and engagement in elementary school students. Drawing on a case study at Harapan Mulia Islamic Elementary School—a well-regarded institution known for its extensive extracurricular offerings—Anisa identifies key factors that influence student participation, including the availability of facilities and the role of competent teachers. Her research highlights a critical gap: despite the school's resources, robotics remains the least popular extracurricular activity. By analyzing this disconnect, Anisa provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to boost STEM interest from an early age. While her citation count is currently modest (4 citations), her work contributes to a growing body of literature on early STEM education in Indonesia. Anisa's findings are particularly relevant for schools aiming to diversify student engagement and address gender or cultural barriers in technology fields. Her research underscores the importance of intentional program design and teacher training in making robotics accessible and appealing to children.
