Francisco Javier Robles Moral

Dr. Francisco Javier Robles Moral is a Professor at the University of Murcia, affiliated with the Faculty of Education and the Department of Didactics of Experimental Sciences. He earned his Doctorate from the same university in 2017 with a thesis on the role of science museums in primary education. His research focuses on science and environmental education, teacher training, and innovative pedagogical methods integrating technology and interdisciplinary approaches.

His research interests include sustainability education, the use of digital tools (e.g., AI, social media), and the application of bioethical dilemmas and escape rooms in classroom settings. He has led initiatives to enhance teacher competence in biodiversity, nutrition, and climate change through didactic workshops and artistic installations. His work emphasizes leveraging museum resources, mirror classes, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) frameworks to improve educational outcomes.

Recent publications highlight his exploration of eco-social education, AI in early childhood teacher training, and the integration of interdisciplinary natural environments in teacher education. Dr. Robles Moral has also contributed to validating educational tools, such as the CEAVAP questionnaire, and assessing pre-service teachers' ability to identify vertebrate species. His research group, Didactics of Experimental Sciences, drives these initiatives, fostering collaborative projects between Spain and Colombia.

While no specific grants or awards are noted, his extensive list of peer-reviewed articles reflects a strong commitment to advancing science education and teacher development. He collaborates actively with institutions to design practical, curriculum-aligned strategies for primary and secondary education.
