About
Nikki G. Lobczowski is a rising researcher at the intersection of educational psychology, human-robot interaction, and collaborative learning. Her work investigates how learners engage with and teach robotic agents, with a particular focus on the dynamics of lexical alignment and collaborative teaching strategies. In her most-cited paper, "Comparison of Lexical Alignment with a Teachable Robot in Human-Robot and Human-Human-Robot Interactions" (2022, 6 citations), Lobczowski and her colleagues explore how linguistic patterns shift when students interact with robots versus human partners, shedding light on the subtle ways technology shapes communication. Her follow-up study, "It Takes Two: Examining the Effects of Collaborative Teaching of a Robot Learner" (2022, 4 citations), further examines the impact of co-teaching a robot, revealing how shared instructional goals influence learning outcomes and social dynamics. These contributions are significant for designing more effective, adaptive educational technologies that leverage social and cognitive processes. By bridging theories of collaborative learning with cutting-edge robotics, Lobczowski is helping to define how future classrooms might integrate teachable agents to foster deeper engagement and understanding.
