<![CDATA[Despite educational digitalization, a divide persists in integrating robotics and the internet of things (IoT) into classroom practice. Both pre-service and in-service teachers struggle to translate theory into application due to the lack of unified methodological frameworks. This gap demonstrably undermines student academic performance. The present study introduces the teachers-oriented, learning content, methodological approaches, digital support, expected outcomes (T-LMDE) model to bridge this divide through the synergistic integration of key dimensions. The model integrates robotics and IoT with cloud computing, utilizing the Arduino IoT cloud for data analytics and remote control. Delivered via a blended-learning portal, the curriculum provides didactic materials and feedback mechanisms, enabling educators to master complex engineering solutions. The model’s efficacy was empirically validated with 31 participants across two modalities: a 15-week course for pre-service teachers and an 80-hour intensive program for in-service educators. Using a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods design, data were analyzed via paired t-tests and qualitative thematic scrutiny. Findings confirm the model’s positive impact on professional transformation and competency advancement, shifting educators from content consumers to “teachers-as-designers”.]]>
