| Popis: | 99 The well-known LEGO NXT is a low-cost robot which can be easily programmed via graphical user interface and it is widely used for robotics education and has become a popular tool for teaching and learning in Taiwan. Eventually, more and more LEGO NXTs are applied to combine with different courses for designing multimedia instructional materials. Therefore, understanding the factors affecting teachers’ intention of using Lego NXT in school has been an eager research issue for the promotion of authentic robotic learning materials and environment. The purpose of the current research is the exploration of teachers’ intention of using Lego NXT in elementary school where the system is used as a complementary learning tool within a traditional class. A model combining factors from Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as well as system and participant characteristics cited in the research literature is proposed. Meanwhile, the operation of the LEGO NXT system is demonstrated first. Then, data were collected from forty seven elementary school teachers in Kaohsiung and Pingtung county. Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) is used to test the hypothesis. |
