About

Min‐Chi Chiu is a leading researcher at the intersection of educational technology and science learning, with a primary focus on robotics in education (RSE) and the development of higher-order thinking skills. Her major contributions include a landmark systematic review and bibliometric analysis of 56 SSCI journal articles published between 1996 and 2020, which mapped the roles, applications, and research designs of robots in science education. This work, which has garnered 23 citations, identified three key clusters of RSE studies, providing a foundational taxonomy for the field. More recently, Chiu has pioneered an integrated mind mapping and robot-based learning approach to simultaneously enhance students’ critical thinking and creative thinking. Her 2024 paper on this method, already accumulating 13 citations, demonstrates a practical, interdisciplinary strategy for fostering essential 21st-century skills. Through her rigorous analyses and innovative pedagogical designs, Chiu is shaping how robots are used to transform science classrooms into dynamic environments for inquiry and cognitive development.
