About

Dr. Laxmi Nagendra Rao is a leading voice in educational technology, with a focused research agenda on the integration of robotics into primary and secondary education. Her work critically examines the human factors that determine the success of technological interventions in the classroom. Her most cited study, "A Survey on Acceptance and Readiness to Use Robot Teaching Technology Among Primary School Science Teachers" (2021), is a foundational piece in the field. Garnering 9 citations, this research provides a crucial empirical analysis of the barriers and facilitators that influence teachers' willingness to adopt robot-assisted instruction, moving beyond technical feasibility to address pedagogical readiness. Dr. Rao’s contributions are significant for their practical impact, offering evidence-based insights that help bridge the gap between innovative educational tools and their real-world application in science curricula. Her scholarship is essential reading for educators, technologists, and policymakers aiming to implement effective, teacher-centered technology in the classroom.
