早期青少年對教育機器人及機器人學習的看法
摘要
A pilot study was conducted to investigate early adolescents' perceptions of educational robots and learning of robotics. It conducted interviews to investigate early adolescents' perceptions of educational robots and learning of robotics to assign categories to the descriptions of their perceptions. It also developed a scale to collect perceptions from more students of educational robots and learning of robotics. The interview sample included fourth, fifth and sixth grade students from northern Taiwan. These early adolescents were selected from three elementary schools in the specific region of that country. A total of 16 early adolescents were selected from each elementary school to conduct interviews regarding their perceptions of educational robots and of the learning of robotics. The research data for the survey study were collected using a questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale.

| 研究背景與目的 | This study investigates early adolescents' perceptions of educational robots and robotics learning to understand their attitudes and behaviors. | 本研究探討早期青少年對教育機器人及機器人學習的看法，旨在了解他們的態度與行為。 |
| 研究方法 | Interviews were conducted with 48 students (grades 4–6) from three schools in Taiwan, followed by a survey with 318 students using a four-point Likert scale. | 訪談對象為來自台灣三所學校的48名四到六年級學生，隨後對318名學生進行使用四點李克特量表的問卷調查。 |
| 主要結果 | 1. Educational robots were often seen as playthings (87.5%).2. Robotics learning was viewed as a path to high technology (62.5%) and employment (50%).3. Males were more likely to associate robotics learning with career and technology. | 1. 教育機器人多被視為玩具（87.5%）。2. 機器人學習被認為是通往高科技（62.5%）和職業機會（50%）的途徑。3. 男生更傾向於將機器人學習與職業和科技聯繫起來。 |
| 討論與建議 | Both genders perceive robots as playthings, but males show more motivation toward career and technology goals in robotics learning. Designers should incorporate strategies like playfulness, relevance, and confidence building to engage females. | 兩性都將機器人視為玩具，但男生在機器人學習中對職業與科技目標表現出更高的動機。設計者應加入趣味性、相關性和信心培養等策略以吸引女生參與。 |
| 未來研究方向 | 1. Explore effective motivational strategies for females.2. Investigate the long-term impact of robotics education on career aspirations.3. Develop culturally relevant robotics education frameworks. | 1. 探索針對女生的有效動機策略。2. 研究機器人教育對職業抱負的長期影響。3. 開發具有文化相關性的機器人教育框架。 |
