About
Michail Kalogiannakis is a prominent educational technology researcher whose work sits at the intersection of STEM education, educational robotics, and early childhood learning. His research has made significant contributions to understanding how emerging technologies — particularly robotics and tablet-based applications — can be meaningfully integrated into preschool and primary education settings. Among his most influential contributions is his extensive investigation of teacher attitudes toward educational robotics, exploring both pre-service and in-service early childhood educators, work that has garnered over 140 citations and highlights the pivotal role teachers play in driving technological innovation in classrooms. His widely cited review of tablets and apps for promoting STEM, robotics, and literacy in early childhood education has similarly shaped the field, accumulating nearly 190 citations across related publications. Kalogiannakis has also demonstrated a practical, hands-on approach to research, leading action research cycles that resulted in the development of a novel open-source, low-cost modular robotic platform specifically designed for STEM education. His work on computational thinking development in young children using tools like the Bee-Bot robot further underscores his commitment to making coding and robotics accessible at the earliest stages of education, establishing him as a leading voice in technology-enhanced early learning.
