A telepresence robot (TR) is one type of technology used to support teleconsultation in schools and may be preferred over other technologies due to its ability to provide immediate videoconferencing with mobility from a remote location. The aim of the current study was to examine teachers' willingness of using a TR as a training mechanism for working with students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Through constant comparative analysis of focus group transcripts, this exploratory qualitative study assessed six teachers' willingness of using TR. In total, 145 text fragments were coded and categorized. This process yielded three macro-categories, six micro-categories, nine primary codes, and 18 secondary codes. Advantages of using TRs, potential barriers, and future research directions are discussed.
远程临场机器人（TR）是一种用于支持学校远程会诊的技术类型，由于其能够从远程位置提供即时视频会议且具备移动性，可能比其他技术更受青睐。本研究的目的是考察教师使用TR作为与自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）学生合作的培训机制的意愿。通过对焦点小组记录进行持续比较分析，这项探索性定性研究评估了六位教师使用TR的意愿。总共对145个文本片段进行了编码和分类。这一过程产生了三个宏观类别、六个微观类别、九个主要代码和18个次要代码。文中讨论了使用TR的优势、潜在障碍和未来研究方向。
