About my research

Hello, I am Alexandra Sierra and I am from Colombia. Currently, I am studying my PhD in Communication and Information Sciences in Tilburg University, Holland. My research focuses on improving 21st Century skills through online games.  In particular, I focus on the 4Cs: Critical thinking and solving skills, Communication skills, Collaboration skills, and Creative and innovation skills.  Elements of gamification, such as scoring, badges, or competition with others, may have different influences on the improvement of 21st Century skills.  I will experiment with these gamification elements in combination with
educational robots.
