The objective of this study was to analyze how early childhood teachers who experienced R-learning
in advance before the full‐scale introduction of teaching assistant robots into ordinary kindergartens
accept R-learning in general and specifically how they receive contents or platform, and ultimately to
provide basic information for the effective application of R-learning. For this purpose, we conducted
a questionnaire survey of 162 field teachers who had experienced R-‐learning and analyzed their
acceptance of R-learning. According to the results, early childhood teachers who had experienced
R-learning were generally positive toward the utilization of teaching assistant robots. However, they
were generally negative toward contents embedded in teaching assistant robots. Their acceptance of
platform (robot) was positive in terms of adequacy as a teaching medium, interactivity, and young
children’s emotional development, but was negative in terms of young children’s language development,
physical development and social development. The acceptance of R-learning was significantly different
according to whether to have preliminary training. This means that preliminary training has a positive
effect on field teachers’ application and utilization of teaching assistant robots in kindergarten.
