Social robots are a promising new technology for primary education. However, they also introduce practical and moral challenges and there is an increasing demand for guidelines for a responsible, safe introduction of social robots. In this study, we identified and compared the moral considerations associated with the introduction of social robots in primary education from the viewpoint of direct and indirect stakeholders by conducting focus group sessions (N = 118). In total, we identified and compared stakeholder considerations related to 17 moral values. Overall, each of the stakeholder groups considered social robots a potentially valuable tool for education. Many similarities and only few conflicting views across the various stakeholder groups were found. Particularly among the teachers, parents, and policymakers, there were many similarities on the issues reported and their considerations were often aligned. These insights into the moral considerations of the various stakeholders involved, provide a solid base to develop guidelines for implementing social robots in education as requested by scholars and society.

社交机器人是一种很有前途的初等教育新技术。然而，它们也带来了实际和道德上的挑战，并且越来越需要负责任、安全地引入社交机器人的指导方针。在本研究中，我们通过焦点小组会议（N = 118）。总的来说，我们确定并比较了与 17 个道德价值观相关的利益相关者考虑因素。总的来说，每个利益相关者团体都认为社交机器人是一种潜在的有价值的教育工具。在不同的利益相关者群体中发现了许多相似之处，但只有少数相互矛盾的观点。特别是在教师、家长和政策制定者之间，报告的问题有许多相似之处，他们的考虑往往是一致的。这些对所涉及的各个利益相关者的道德考虑的见解，为根据学者和社会的要求制定在教育中实施社交机器人的指导方针提供了坚实的基础。
