Georgios Kritikos

Georgios Kritikos is a Researcher and member of the Laboratory Teaching Staff at the Learning Technology and Educational Engineering Laboratory (LTEE) within the University of the Aegean’s School of Humanities. He holds a B.Sc. in Physics (2001) and M.Sc. in Electronic Physics from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, followed by a M.Ed. in Modeling & Educational Design and a Ph.D. in Physics Didactics using ICT (2013) from the University of the Aegean. His postdoctoral research (2020) focused on educational engineering and systemic approaches to interdisciplinary learning.

• Education:
  • B.Sc. Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2001)
  • M.Sc. Electronic Physics & Telecommunications, Aristotle University (2004)
  • M.Ed. Modeling & Educational Design, Aegean University (2006)
  • Ph.D. Physics Didactics with ICT, Aegean University (2013)
  • Postdoc, Aegean University (2020)

His research emphasizes interdisciplinary education, STEAM integration, metacognitive practices, and UN SDGs in schooling. He explores innovative tools like robotics, digital storytelling, and systemic pedagogical frameworks to bridge science/mathematics teaching across educational levels. Recent work includes designing gamified activities for early education and addressing climate change through citizen science projects.

Articles focus on:

• Interdisciplinary teaching strategies (e.g., physics/mathematics synergy)
• Technology-enhanced learning environments (e.g., LEGO robotics, ModellingSpace)
• Metacognitive tools for conceptual understanding

His lab, LTEE, develops educational engineering models to transform schools into adaptive learning systems. Past roles include secondary science teacher (2005–2017) and director of the Southern Dodecanese Science Lab.
