Abstract
This research investigates people’s willingness to use LEGO Mindstorms robotics by synthesizing the task-technology fit, the theory of planned behavior, the technology acceptance model, and the flow theory. The results indicate that task characteristics, technology characteristics, individual characteristics, and task-technology fit have significantly positive relationships. Subjects in the technology acceptance mode indicated that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude and intention to use have a significant positive relationship. Meanwhile, subjective norms, intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction and perceived enjoyment indicate a positive intention for learners to use LEGO Mindstorms robotics. Overall, relevant factors using LEGO Mindstorms robotics are found. Therefore, educators should develop prospective subjects through the use of LEGO Mindstorms robotics courses, which are an effective support in learning.
