About

Mobasshira Zaman is a researcher at the intersection of early childhood education and emerging technologies, with a primary focus on computational thinking (CT) development in young children. Her most cited work, "Evaluating Young Children’s Computational Thinking Skills Using a Mixed-Reality Environment" (2023), introduces a novel approach to assessing CT in early learners by leveraging mixed-reality tools. This paper, with 3 citations, represents a foundational contribution to a nascent field, demonstrating how immersive environments can capture cognitive processes often invisible in traditional assessments. Zaman’s research addresses a critical gap: while CT is increasingly recognized as a vital 21st-century skill, standardized evaluation methods for children aged 4–8 remain scarce. By designing and validating a mixed-reality assessment, she provides educators and researchers with a scalable, engaging tool to measure problem-solving, sequencing, and debugging abilities in young learners. Her work bridges developmental psychology, human-computer interaction, and STEM education, offering practical implications for curriculum design. Though early in her career, Zaman’s focus on inclusive, technology-enhanced assessment positions her as an emerging voice in computational thinking research, with potential to shape how foundational digital literacy is taught and evaluated globally.
