Abstract
An investigation was carried out on 300 technology teachers (the number of valid responses was 73, 24.3%) in order to find out about their views on 'the Robot Contest' as one type of project learning in technology education. The result of this investigation showed that 23.3% of teachers have experience of 'the Robot Contest' (experience group), and that 35.6% of teachers have a concrete plan to implement using of it (plan group). The proportion of teachers who don't have either experience or a plan was 41.1%. Also, the plan group expected the effect of promoting students' autonomy. However, they were concerned that they would need a lot of time for the project. On the other hand, 52.1% of teachers feel positively about 'the Robot Contest' (positive group), while 28.7% of teachers feel negatively about it (negative group). Also, the positive group expected that it would promote students' creativity. However, they also worried about the difficulty of evaluating group activity.
