This file is about Robotics in Education.
In this file, I have summarised both the live lecture 4 as well as the according to literature. It entails all the information required for both the assignments as well as the exam.
, Lecture 4 - Summary
Robots in education
1st paper
Robots in educati on
3 kinds of robots in education:
1. Build robots - Lego Mindstorm
a. Robots that are made out of parts, and students can learn from building these robots
i. Computational thinking
ii. Learning to program
2. Use robots
3. Social robots - NOA, ZORA
a. Human like robots that can interact with people
b. They never replace a teacher but they are used to assist a teacher
Benefits of social robots compared to virtual
agents:
1. They can be used for curricula or populations that require engagement with the physical
world
2. Users show more social behavior that are beneficial for learning
3. Users show increased learning gains
4. Physical robots can more easily take the role of a peer to students. Peer-to-peer interactions
tend to be less intimidating and more successful when learning, especially if a student is
anxious to make mistakes.
a. Often a robot is presented as a more knowledgeable peer, guiding the other students
along a specific trajectory (9% compared to 86% teacher/tutor)
b. The other way around also works, if the robot is presented as a laymen. In this way
the student should learn the robot something and the student itself also gains
knowledge along the way.
Meta-analysis
o Refers to the statistical approach to combining the data derived from the systematic
review - Super complicated and time consuming.
o Goal of meta-analysis is to calculate an effect size over all studies that have been
done thus far.
o General average effect size of the effects.
The meta-analysis of Belpeame had 3 mean
research questions:
Most interactions are 1 on 1 interactions, this works best.
1. Efficacy - What are the cognitive and affective outcomes when robots are used
in education?
2. Embodiment - What is the impact of using physically embodied robot when
compared with alternative technologies?
