Development of an Educational Effectiveness Measurement Tool Using the RoboCare Care Robot for Persons with Disabilities and Older Adults

Key Points

• The study aims to develop a measurement tool assessing the effectiveness of educational programs using RoboCare robots for people with disabilities and older adults.
• Conducted two rounds of Delphi surveys with 30 experts, including care robot developers and educators.
• Developed 161 preliminary items for the measurement tool based on literature analysis.
• Refined items through expert consensus, resulting in 116 questions for the second round of surveys.
• Identified and classified items for two groups: older adults/mild developmental disorders and severe developmental disorders.
• In the second round, 112 items for the older/mild group and 99 items for the severe group met convergence and agreement criteria.
• The developed measurement tool is justified and systematic, contributing to the improved quality of life and social participation for users.
