About

Osman Kayhan is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of early childhood education and robotics, with a primary focus on pedagogical frameworks for integrating technology into preschool teaching. His most notable contribution is the development of a pioneering rubric for the pedagogical classification of educational robots, designed to help educators select age-appropriate robotic tools based on developmental and instructional criteria rather than technical specifications alone. This work, published in 2023, represents a foundational step in aligning robot-assisted learning with early childhood pedagogy, earning early recognition with 2 citations and positioning Kayhan as a key voice in the emerging field of educational robotics for young learners. His research addresses a critical gap: the lack of systematic, education-driven guidelines for choosing robots in pre-school settings. By bridging robotics and developmental education, Kayhan’s work offers practical value for teachers, curriculum designers, and technologists aiming to foster cognitive and social skills through interactive play. His contributions are particularly relevant as interest in STEM education expands into early years, making his classification system a timely and impactful resource for researchers and practitioners alike.
