20.500.12556/ReVIS-12238 Attitudes of Engineering and Technology Teachers Towards the Use of Humanoid Robots in Education Odnos učiteljev inženirstva in tehnologije do uporabe humanoidnih robotov v izobraževanju Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the attitudes of teachers of technical and engineering subjects towards the use of humanoid robots in the learning process. The aim was to find out whether these teachers are more willing to integrate robots in the classroom than teachers of other subjects, and whether they perceive concrete possibilities to use robots in different learning situations (e.g. substituting in the absence of a student). Study design/methodology/approach: The survey was quantitative and conducted through an online questionnaire, which was completed by 206 teachers of different subjects and levels of education in Slovenia. The questionnaire contained two sets of statements - one on the willingness to incorporate robots, the other on the concrete possibilities of their use. The analysis of differences between teachers of technical and non-technical subjects was carried out using the Mann-Whitney U-test, using IBM SPSS software. The questionnaire had high internal reliability (Cronbach α = .912). Findings: The results showed statistically significant differences in the expressed willingness to incorporate robots, with teachers of technical and engineering subjects showing higher willingness than other teachers. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the perception of concrete possibilities for the use of robots, such as helping to work with students remotely, assisting teachers with administrative tasks, etc. Teachers of technical subjects expressed more interest and openness to the use of robots in the classroom. Originality/value: The research provides important insights into a specific segment of teachers (engineering and technology teachers) who, due to the nature of the subject, are more inclined to make practical use of new technologies such as humanoid robots. This is one of the few studies that comparatively analyses the attitudes of different groups of teachers towards this topic. The results have value for the further development of pedagogical approaches, teacher training and the design of strategies for introducing robots in schools, especially in STEM fields. Namen: Cilj študije je bil raziskati stališča učiteljev tehničnih in inženirskih predmetov do uporabe humanoidnih robotov v učnem procesu. Cilj je bil ugotoviti, ali so ti učitelji bolj pripravljeni vključiti robote v pouk kot učitelji drugih predmetov in ali vidijo konkretne možnosti uporabe robotov v različnih učnih situacijah (npr. nadomeščanje v odsotnosti učenca). Zasnova/metodologija/pristop študije: Anketa je bila kvantitativna in izvedena s spletnim vprašalnikom, ki ga je izpolnilo 206 učiteljev različnih predmetov in stopenj izobraževanja v Sloveniji. Vprašalnik je vseboval dva sklopa trditev - enega o pripravljenosti za vključitev robotov, drugega pa o konkretnih možnostih njihove uporabe. Analiza razlik med učitelji tehničnih in netehničnih predmetov je bila izvedena z Mann-Whitneyjevim U-testom in programsko opremo IBM SPSS. Vprašalnik je imel visoko notranjo zanesljivost (Cronbach α = 0,912). Ugotovitve: Rezultati so pokazali statistično značilne razlike v izraženi pripravljenosti za vključitev robotov, pri čemer so učitelji tehničnih in inženirskih predmetov pokazali večjo pripravljenost kot drugi učitelji. Vendar pa ni bilo statistično značilnih razlik v zaznavanju konkretnih možnosti uporabe robotov, kot so pomoč pri delu z učenci na daljavo, pomoč učiteljem pri administrativnih opravilih itd. Učitelji tehničnih predmetov so izrazili večje zanimanje in odprtost za uporabo robotov v razredu. Izvirnost/vrednost: Raziskava ponuja pomemben vpogled v specifičen segment učiteljev (učitelji inženirstva in tehnologije), ki so zaradi narave predmeta bolj nagnjeni k praktični uporabi novih tehnologij, kot so humanoidni roboti. To je ena redkih študij, ki primerjalno analizira stališča različnih skupin učiteljev do te teme. Rezultati so dragoceni za nadaljnji razvoj pedagoških pristopov, usposabljanje učiteljev in oblikovanje strategij za uvajanje robotov v šole, zlasti na področjih STEM. engineering and technology humanoid robots STEM education true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-09-19 13:09:10 2025-09-19 13:09:10 2025-09-29 13:02:06 0000-00-00 00:00:00 0 0 0 no. 2 Vol. 14 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-06-14 2232-5107 2232-5697 240208899 https://doi.org/10.53615/2232-5697.14.277-284 https://toknowpress.net/submission/index.php/ijmkl/article/download/209/129 1 1160a810-9549-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=14298 RAZ_Flogie_Andrej_0.pdf RAZ_Flogie_Andrej_0.pdf 1 492DA4C23D40EA0726241E31743916A2 f02564ab73b3a6b048c17325ad19548dbfd57e7c8e8a95edef4bf6ea2163259a 4019eb4c-9549-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=14299 Mednarodna fakulteta za družbene in poslovne študije 0 0 0
