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.

The problems current robotic technology education class has are the students with different basic background knowledge levels and the class based on the instructional teaching method. This study shows the implementation of the student teams achievement divisions (STAD) learning model into an introductory robotic technology education class to resolve the problems in the current robotic technology class. The STAD learning model focuses on the ability of each team member with different knowledge levels and make team members help each other through class activities such as assignments and a project. All members get rewarded by their performance output as a team in a course grade. The outputs of STAD learning models were measured by paired sample t-test as pre-test and post-test in terms of students's transition on basic knowledge for robotic technology, students' attitudinal transition on teaching robotic technology class, and students' competencies and self-efficacy on related subject areas. The study participants were 22 pre-service technology teachers at a university. The results show that all four measured areas were improved significantly, compared to pre-test with respect to the means scores of each measurement area. The STAD learning model could be an alternate for the current robotic technology class to deliver the better class outcomes for students under the specific circumstances.
