Stamatios Papadakis

Dr Stamatios Papadakis has been an assistant professor in educational technology with an emphasis on mobile learning at the Department of Preschool Education at the University of Crete, Greece. He has worked on several international and national pedagogy projects for pre-K to 16th grade education. His scientific and research interests include the study of mobile learning, especially on using smart mobile devices and their accompanying mobile applications (apps) in Preschool and Primary Education, focusing on developing Computational Thinking and students’ understanding of numbers. Furthermore, he currently investigates how a STEM learning approach influences learning achievement through a context-aware mobile learning environment in the preschool classroom and explains the effects on preschoolers' learning outcomes. He has published and book chapters in scientific peer-reviewed journals and international conferences (including Computers & Education, Education and Information Technologies, and Early Childhood Education Journal).
