About

Ying-Hsiu Chen’s research bridges technology acceptance, educational robotics, and information technology applications in engineering. Her most influential work, “Elementary school student’s acceptance of Lego NXT: The technology acceptance model, a preliminary investigation” (2011, 43 citations), applies the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to understand how young learners engage with programmable robotics. This study demonstrated that Lego NXT modules, while initially relying on artificial challenges, could enhance student focus and preparation through tangible, hands-on models—offering early insights into the design of educational robotics curricula. Chen’s work contributes to the growing field of human-computer interaction in education, particularly in STEM learning environments. In a related vein, her 2012 paper “An integrate information technology model during earthquake dynamics” (2 citations) explores IT integration in practical engineering contexts, including internal solitary waves, intelligent robotics, and fuzzy Lyapunov systems. Though less cited, this work reflects her broader interest in applying computational models to real-world challenges. Chen’s research is valuable for educators and technologists seeking evidence-based approaches to designing engaging, user-friendly learning tools that foster early interest in robotics and engineering.
