About

Raimonds Strods is a leading researcher at the intersection of educational technology, robotics, and social sustainability. His work focuses on leveraging educational robotics as a targeted intervention to combat school failure and early school leaving, with a particular emphasis on gender equity. Strods’ most influential paper, “Analysis of Robotics-Based Learning Interventions for Preventing School Failure and Early School Leaving in Gender Context” (2017, 10 citations), establishes a foundational framework for using robotics to re-engage at-risk students. He further develops this theme in “Educational Robotics for Reducing Early School Leaving from the Perspective of Sustainable Education” (2019, 9 citations), linking robotics-based pedagogy to the broader goals of sustainable development. His third key contribution, “Activities with Educational Robotics: Research Model and Tools for Evaluation of Progress” (2019, 5 citations), provides practitioners with validated instruments to assess student growth. Collectively, Strods’ work demonstrates that hands-on robotics activities can foster inclusion, motivation, and skill development, offering a scalable solution to one of education’s most persistent challenges. His research is essential reading for educators, policymakers, and technologists seeking evidence-based strategies to create more equitable and engaging learning environments.
