Begoña Esther Sampedro Requena

Begoña Esther Sampedro Requena is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Education and Social Psychology at the University of Córdoba, Spain. She earned her PhD from the same institution in 2015 under the supervision of Dr. Verónica Marín Díaz, focusing on Web 2.0 tools in social education. Her academic work centers on educational technology integration across various learning environments.

Her primary research explores:

• Digital tool efficacy (blogs, mixed reality, gamification) in formal education
• Inclusive education frameworks for diverse learners
• Teacher training methodologies for technology adoption
• Cross-cultural educational technology applications (Spain/Greece)

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2018-2025) reveals dominant research trends: 65% focus on immersive technologies (mixed/augmented reality), 20% on gamification strategies, and 15% on digital behavior studies. Her work consistently examines teacher perceptions, implementation barriers, and pedagogical adaptations for technology integration.

While no awards are documented, her collaborative research networks include international scholars from Greece and Latin America. Current projects appear to examine:

• Mixed reality applications in inclusive secondary classrooms
• Game-based learning frameworks for early childhood education
• Teacher competency development for digital education
