About
Tamar Shamir-Inbal is a leading researcher in the integration of technology in education, with a primary focus on teacher professional development, computational thinking, and the pedagogical use of digital tools. Her most influential work examines how teachers of coding and robotics can be effectively trained through Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs), emphasizing the shift from teacher-centered instruction to more student-centered, constructivist approaches. In her highly cited 2020 study (51 citations), she identified key pedagogical strategies that foster students’ computational thinking and highlighted the critical role of teacher centrality in the classroom. This research has provided a practical framework for educators worldwide, demonstrating how structured online professional development can empower teachers to guide students in problem-solving and logical reasoning. Shamir-Inbal’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical pedagogy and hands-on STEM education, offering actionable insights for K-12 teachers and curriculum designers. Her work continues to shape how educational systems prepare teachers for the challenges of 21st-century learning, making her a key voice in the fields of educational technology and teacher training.
