About

Dr. Dana Alshwayat is a pioneering researcher in the field of educational technology and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on technology acceptance in higher education. Her work bridges the critical gap between emerging robotic technologies and their practical integration into academic environments, especially within the context of Jordanian universities. Her most cited study, "ROBOTS IN EDUCATION: A JORDANIAN UNIVERSITY CASE STUDY" (2020, 6 citations), applies the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to empirically investigate how students and educators perceive and adopt robotic technologies in learning settings. This research addresses a significant lacuna in the literature, as prior studies largely overlooked the cultural and contextual factors influencing robot acceptance in Middle Eastern educational institutions. Dr. Alshwayat’s contributions provide foundational insights for designing more effective human-robot interaction strategies in classrooms, helping educators and policymakers understand the barriers and facilitators to technology adoption. Her work is particularly notable for its practical implications, offering evidence-based recommendations for integrating robotics into curricula. As a researcher committed to advancing educational innovation, Dr. Alshwayat continues to shape the discourse on how emerging technologies can transform learning experiences, making her a key voice in the evolving landscape of educational robotics.
