About
Veena Jayasree Krishnan is a dedicated researcher in STEM education, with a focus on integrating robotics and technology into middle school classrooms to foster diversity and engagement. Her work centers on the dynamic application of the TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge) framework, particularly in teaching STEM through robotics. Her most-cited paper, "Exploring the Dynamic Nature of TPACK Framework in Teaching STEM Using Robotics in Middle School Classrooms" (2018, 21 citations), offers critical insights into how teachers can leverage technology as an effective pedagogical tool to enhance disciplinary knowledge. Krishnan also addresses the persistent underrepresentation in STEM fields, notably in her work "Middle School Teacher Professional Development in Creating a NGSS-plus-5E Robotics Curriculum" (2020), which tackles the challenge of broadening participation in STEM careers—a sector growing 29% faster than others. Her contributions are vital for developing inclusive, hands-on curricula that prepare diverse learners for future STEM opportunities, making her a key voice in educational equity and innovation.
