About
Dr. J. Elizabeth Casey is a leading researcher in educational technology integration, with a focus on how preservice teachers and diverse student populations adopt and engage with emerging tools. Her work centers on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess educators’ readiness for robotics in the classroom, particularly floor-robots. Her most cited study (2020, 50 citations) examines preservice teachers’ acceptance of floor-robots as pedagogical tools, revealing key factors influencing their adoption. Casey’s 2017 paper (26 citations) demonstrates how floor-robots enhance Hispanic students’ understanding of programming concepts, using playful activities like “Lines, roamers, and squares.” She extends TAM to middle and high school contexts (2022, 16 citations), showing how teachers view educational technology. A notable case study (2020, 4 citations) highlights that structured floor-robot activities increase Hispanic students’ awareness and engagement with new technologies. Casey’s research bridges theory and practice, providing evidence-based strategies for integrating robotics into diverse classrooms. Her work has significant implications for teacher education, STEM equity, and culturally responsive pedagogy, making her a key voice in technology acceptance and inclusive computational thinking.
