About

Dr. Werasak Surareungchai is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of technology, education, and the humanities, best known for his work in STEAM education and social robotics design. His most cited study, "Understanding the role of arts and humanities in social robotics design: An experiment for STEAM enrichment program in Thailand" (2017, 14 citations), makes a compelling case for integrating Arts and Humanities into traditional STEM curricula to foster creativity and innovation. This work is particularly influential in developing countries, where it challenges the notion that technical disciplines alone suffice for building future-ready innovators. Dr. Surareungchai’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how social robotics can serve as a practical, interdisciplinary platform for STEAM enrichment, bridging cultural and educational gaps. His research not only advances pedagogical theory but also offers actionable frameworks for educators and policymakers. With a growing citation footprint, his work is increasingly recognized as foundational for rethinking education in the 21st century, especially in contexts where resource constraints demand creative, holistic approaches to technology and learning.
