Es ganador de varios premios importantes de enseñanza en el MIT, así como del IEEE, citada por sus contribuciones a la enseñanza de las ciencias de la computación de pregrado.

Abelson tuvo un interés de larga data en el uso de computación como marco conceptual en la enseñanza. Dirigió la primera implementación de la lengua computer Logo para el ordenador Apple, que hizo la programación para los niños ampliamente disponibles en los ordenadores personales a partir de 1981. Junto con Gerald Jay Sussman, Abelson desarrolló en la introductoria del MIT, el tema ciencias de la computación, estructura e interpretación de los programas de ordenador, un tema organizado en torno a la idea de que un lenguaje de programación es principalmente un medio formal para expresar sus ideas acerca de la metodología, y no sólo una manera de conseguir una computadora para realizar operaciones. Este trabajo, a través de un libro de texto de ciencias de la computación y videoconferencias populares ha tenido un impacto mundial sobre la educación universitaria de ciencias informáticas.[5]​[6]​

Tiene un A.B. de la Universidad de Princeton y un Ph.D. en matemáticas del MIT.[7]​ Wikipedia

“[Computer science] is not really about computers -- and it's not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is not about microscopes and Petri dishes…and geometry isn't really about using surveying instruments. Now the reason that we think computer science is about computers is pretty much the same reason that the Egyptians thought geometry was about surveying instruments: when some field is just getting started and you don't really understand it very well, it's very easy to confuse the essence of what you're doing with the tools that you use.”

“See, in general, as systems designers, you’re forced with necessity to make decisions about how you’re going to do things, and in general, the way you’d like to retain flexibility is to never make up your mind about anything until you’re forced to do it. The problem is, there’s a very, very narrow line between deferring decisions and outright procrastination. So you’d like to make progress, but also at the same time, never be bound by the consequences of your decisions.”
