Abstract

Factors influencing the attitude towards the use of robot-based instruction in special education are explored using the technology acceptance model (TAM). Their interrelatedness is also analyzed. Research data were obtained via a questionnaire survey of elementary, middle, and high school special education teachers in North Chungcheong Province. The results reveal that three factors influence the attitude towards using robot-based instruction in special education: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and social influence. Of these, perceived usefulness exerts the strongest influence. Perceived ease of use was found to be influenced by personal innovation and social influence, and perceived usefulness is influenced by perceived ease of use and personal innovation. Efforts should be made to induce a receptive attitude towards the use of robot-based instruction among teachers for its stable acceptance.

기술수용모형(TAM)을 바탕으로 특수교육에서 로봇활용교육의 수용태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 탐색하여 이들 간의 관계를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 충청북도 초 중 고등학교 특수교사들을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 특수교육에서 로봇활용교육의 수용태도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 인지된 유용성, 인지된 용이성, 사회적 영향력의 3개 요인이며, 이중 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 것은 인지된 유용성으로 나타났다. 또한 인지된 용이성에 영향을 미치는 요인은 혁신성향과 사회적 영향력으로 나타났다. 인지된 유용성에 영향을 미치는 요인은 인지된 용이성과 혁신성향으로 밝혀졌다. 로봇활용교육이 특수교육에 안정적으로 수용되기 위해서는 로봇활용교육에 대한 교사의 긍정적 인식을 이끌어 내는 노력이 필요하다.
