This study examines the factors influencing science teachers' intentions to adopt humanoid robots in educational settings. It employs the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT-2) and the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework as guiding theoretical models. By integrating UTAUT-2, which emphasizes individual…

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face significant challenges in social reciprocity, which involves the mutual exchange of social cues and interactions. This study investigates the potential of using a child-height assistive robot named Rudolf to enhance the social reciprocity skills of children with ASD. The research focused…

Mastering the visually complex characters of the Chinese language poses significant challenges for students. The situation is even worse in Hong Kong, where students with different backgrounds, including students with/without dyslexia and non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students, are placed in the same class. Interactive design has been proven…

Background: Educational robots are regarded as effective learning tools in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, and educational robotics competitions have become highly popular. Objectives: This study investigated the effects of participation in an educational robotics competition, the World Robot Olympiad, from the…

Interdisciplinary learning requires students to integrate knowledge and methods from different disciplines, prompting advanced skills development and knowledge construction by connecting diverse subjects. Artificial Intelligence (AI), with its rich information base and abilities to track learning and provide personalized support, has the potential…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Micro:bit applications with the participation of 6th grade students on students' attitudes towards coding. In addition participants' opinion regarding Micro:bit applications were examined. In this quantitative study, six-week applications with Micro:bit coding content were carried out using the…

Background: As highly interactive hands-on learning tools, robots can inspire new generations of mathematics students. However, to date, no comprehensive systematic reviews have been conducted on robot-assisted mathematics education from K-12 through higher education. Hence, it is important to explore the research evidence of robot-assisted…

The advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution era requires the creation of new value through convergence rather than piecemeal use of technology. In that sense, the convergence of AI's learning ability and IoT connectivity makes it possible to build a more intelligent and automated system. Therefore, AI education in preparation for the era of…

Educational robotics is presented as a resource increasingly present in the early childhood education stage, allowing the development of STEM competences in a practical and motivating way. Due to the evolution of its use in the classroom, the aim of this paper was to analyse and evaluate research on robotics applied to early childhood education.…

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using robots within educational environments due to their potential to augment student engagement and motivation. However, current research has not adequately addressed the effectiveness of these robots in facilitating inclusive learning for diverse student populations, particularly those with…

The integration of digital technology into various sectors has transformed education globally, yet its adoption in Nigeria remains constrained by a lack of adequately trained personnel. This study addresses this gap by developing a Project-Based Arduino Robot Application (PARA) for teaching Robotics Programming to preservice teachers. A Research…

Background: Many studies have highlighted the positive effects of visual programming instruction (VPI) on students' learning experiences, programming self-efficacy and flow experience. However, there is a notable gap in the research on how these factors specifically impact programming achievement and learning intentions. Our study addresses this…

The objective of the study was to explore STEAM disciplines through robotics within the Future Classroom Lab (FCL) spaces, which challenge the learning of mathematical knowledge in Primary Education. The method used was quantitative and descriptive, based on data obtained from the mean and standard deviation through pre-test and post-test…

Background/purpose: This study aimed to investigate teachers' perceptions of using advanced technological tools, specifically the NAO robot, in co-teaching settings to enhance class development and promote complex thinking in higher education. Complex thinking is a crucial skill in higher education, enabling students to effectively address and…

This study focuses on dialogue breakdowns that can occur in robot-assisted language learning (RALL). Our aim is to analyse how children use gaze to resolve these breakdowns, that is, interruptions in the interaction caused by the robot's inability to understand the children and react appropriately. Our corpus consists of 18 video filmed L2…
