About

Minyoung Shin is a researcher whose work bridges early childhood education and computational thinking, with a particular focus on how young learners engage with programming. Her most impactful contribution, "Debugging during block-based programming" (2018), has garnered 88 citations, establishing her as a key voice in understanding how children develop problem-solving skills through coding. This work illuminates the cognitive processes behind debugging in block-based environments, offering practical insights for educators designing curricula for novice programmers. Shin also explores the integration of robotics in early mathematics education, as seen in her study on preparing pre-service early childhood teachers to teach with robots (2017). While this paper has fewer citations, it reflects her commitment to equipping future educators with innovative tools. Her research sits at the intersection of computer science education, developmental psychology, and teacher training, making her work valuable for both researchers and practitioners. By examining how young children interact with technology, Shin contributes to a growing body of knowledge that informs the design of age-appropriate learning experiences, ultimately helping to shape the next generation of digitally literate learners.
