About

Tarinee Thongkerd is a researcher focused on vocational education and training, particularly the integration of industrial robotics into teaching and learning environments. Her work examines how educators perceive and adopt emerging technologies, with a specific emphasis on the pedagogical challenges and opportunities presented by industrial robots in vocational settings. Her most cited paper, "Perceptions of Vocational Education and Training Teachers with regard to an Industrial Robot Training" (2021, 4 citations), explores the attitudes and readiness of teachers as they incorporate robotic tools into their curricula, addressing a critical gap in the transition from traditional manufacturing education to technology-enhanced instruction. This research contributes to understanding the human factors that influence the successful implementation of automation in educational contexts. Thongkerd’s work is particularly relevant for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to modernize vocational training programs. By highlighting the perspectives of teachers, she provides actionable insights into how institutions can better support faculty in adopting industrial robots as teaching aids, ultimately helping to prepare a workforce skilled in advanced manufacturing technologies.
