About

Jeong Hee Kim’s research focuses on early childhood education, particularly the integration of technology and robotics in kindergarten settings. Her most cited work, a 2015 study analyzing R‑learning teaching efficacy among private kindergarten teachers in Kyungnam, examines how internal teacher variables—such as self‑efficacy and professional background—influence the effective use of robot‑assisted instruction. By surveying 291 teachers and employing rigorous statistical analysis with SPSS, Kim provides empirical insights into the factors that shape educators’ confidence and competence in adopting innovative teaching tools. While her citation count is modest, this foundational study contributes to the growing dialogue on technology‑enhanced learning environments for young children. Kim’s work underscores the importance of teacher preparedness in leveraging robotics to support developmental outcomes, offering practical implications for curriculum design and professional development in early childhood education. Her research remains a valuable reference for scholars exploring the intersection of pedagogy, technology, and teacher psychology in Korean educational contexts.
