Research summary
AI-generated

Kyungbin Kwon studies how technology is used to teach computing and other subjects in classrooms, from elementary school through college. Recent work focuses on teaching computational thinking (breaking problems down in ways computers can help solve), integrating artificial intelligence into school curricula, and using tools like augmented reality, mixed reality, and educational games to support learning. The research also examines issues such as gender gaps in computer science education and how teachers adopt new curricula.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
