About
Ting Chia Hsu is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of educational technology, robotics, and computational thinking. Focused primarily on K-12 learning environments, Hsu investigates how innovative tools — including mobile phone-controlled educational robots and computational thinking board games — can enhance students' programming skills and self-efficacy. Their 2020 study on mobile phone programs for robot control demonstrated meaningful gains in programming confidence among third-grade students, contributing practical insights into how young learners engage with coding concepts through tangible, hands-on experiences. A companion study from the same year explored the learning behaviors of sixth-grade students when educational robots were integrated with computational thinking board games, highlighting the potential of hybrid physical-digital approaches to deepen computational reasoning. While Hsu's citation record is still growing — reflecting the recency of this work — the research addresses timely and significant questions about preparing young students for an increasingly technology-driven world. Their contributions offer valuable guidance for educators and curriculum designers seeking evidence-based strategies for introducing programming and robotics at the elementary level.
