About

Tsung-Hao Chen is an educational technology researcher whose work focuses on integrating robotics and interactive multimedia into elementary and secondary school curricula. His primary research areas include technology acceptance in education, robotics-based learning materials, and interactive e-book design for science education. Chen’s most influential study, “Elementary school student’s acceptance of Lego NXT: The technology acceptance model, a preliminary investigation” (2011, 43 citations), pioneered the application of the Technology Acceptance Model to evaluate how young students engage with programmable robotics kits. He demonstrated that while Lego NXT modules effectively improved student focus and provided authentic challenges, the artificial nature of early simulations limited their impact. His subsequent work on interactive e-books for learning natural catastrophes (2012, 25 citations) and multimedia robotics materials (2010) further advanced hands-on, constructivist learning approaches. Chen’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between abstract STEM concepts and tangible, age-appropriate learning experiences. His research has informed the design of educational robotics programs in Taiwan and beyond, offering practical frameworks for assessing student motivation and acceptance of emerging technologies in classroom settings.
