Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the perceived usefulness of a teaching robot, Mi-Robot, in delivering linguistic and kinesthetic stimulation for children with special needs, based on teacher feedback. The study employed a mixed-methods design and involved 20 special education teachers from five inclusive schools in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Teachers participated in a 32-hour training program focused on integrating Mi-Robot into classroom activities. Data were collected using the Mi-Robot Acceptance Scale and an open-ended evaluation form. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative responses were examined through thematic content analysis. Teachers reported high acceptance levels, with mean scores above 4.0 across all four TAM dimensions. Qualitative findings revealing that Mi-Robot was seen as curriculum-compatible, engaging, and cost-effective. Features such as gamification, visual appeal, and customizable challenges were noted to enhance student motivation and facilitate individualized learning. Participants expressed a strong intention to integrate Mi-Robot into their future teaching practices. Mi-Robot is perceived as a promising educational tool for supporting the development of linguistic and kinesthetic intelligence in children with special needs. Its usability, adaptability, and alignment with inclusive education goals make it suitable for classroom and distance learning contexts.

Abstract

The increasing need for effective learning support for children with special needs highlights the urgency of integrating assistive technologies that enhance linguistic and kinesthetic stimulation and support teachers in instructional delivery. Conventional methods often struggle to provide consistent and engaging stimulation, particularly in digital or distance learning contexts. The objective of this study was to evaluate teachers’ acceptance and perceived usefulness of the Mi-Robot for linguistic and kinesthetic stimulation. This research method is a descriptive mixed-methods study involving 20 special education teachers from 5 elementary schools in Bandung, Indonesia. Teachers received structured training in the use of Mi-Robot. Data were collected using the Mi-Robot Acceptance Scale based on the Technology Acceptance Model and an open-ended usability evaluation form. The results indicate that Mi-Robot aligns with the school curriculum and demonstrates high perceived usefulness, ease of use, positive attitudes, and strong behavioral intentions among teachers. Qualitative findings indicate that Mi-Robot effectively supports linguistic and kinesthetic stimulation through its content, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. In conclusion, Mi-Robot demonstrates strong potential as an assistive educational technology for special education in both classroom and distance-learning settings.
