About
Selina V. Mireles is a leading scholar in educational technology and computer science pedagogy, with a focus on integrating hands-on robotics into K–12 classrooms. Her research centers on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to evaluate how preservice teachers perceive and adopt innovative tools, particularly floor robots, as effective pedagogical instruments. Mireles’s most cited work, “Technology Acceptance Model: Assessing Preservice Teachers’ Acceptance of Floor-Robots as a Useful Pedagogical Tool” (2020, 50 citations), demonstrates her pioneering effort to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical classroom applications. Her earlier study, “Lines, roamers, and squares: Oh my! using floor robots to enhance Hispanic students’ understanding of programming” (2017, 26 citations), highlights her commitment to equity and diversity, showing how tangible programming tools can improve computational thinking among underrepresented Hispanic students. In her 2022 paper (16 citations), she extends TAM to middle and high school contexts, offering actionable insights for teacher preparation programs. With over 90 combined citations, Mireles’s work is instrumental in shaping how future educators embrace technology, making her a vital voice in STEM education and culturally responsive teaching.
