Abstract: Acceptance of robotic technology in education is a crucial issue in the revolution industry 4.0 era. This study aims to explore the acceptance of Lego Mindstorms Ev3 as one kind of robotic technology by the teachers as a learning resources that can develop teachers and student’s skills. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was introduced by using questionnaires. The questionnaires were responded by 22 elementary school teachers who have experiences with Lego Mindstorms ev3 kits in a workshop. The data was carried out by presenting descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses. Based on the acceptance testing of Lego Mindstorms Ev3 with the TAM model, the result showed that subjective norms (SN) and self-efficacy (SE) as external variables were effective on the acceptance of Lego Mindstorms Ev3 as a learning tools by teachers. Teacher’s SN have a positive correlation with perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease to use (PE), and behavioral intention to use (BI). Teacher’s self-efficacy were significant in predicting PE and BI. PU and PE had a positive effect on Attitude toward using Lego Mindstorms Ev3 by teachers, and it continued to use. Finally, most teachers have shown positive reactions to Lego Mindstorms Ev3 as educational tools.
