Pedagogical agents: Pedagogical interventions via integration of task-oriented and socially oriented conversation.
(2011) AERA (American Educational Research Association) Annual meeting , 2011- Abstract
- The paper discusses the motivation for and outcome of the addition of socially oriented so called
“off-task” conversational abilities to an existing “teachable agent” (TA) in an educational
mathematics game. The purpose of the extension is to affect constructs known to promote
learning, such as self-efficacy and engagement, as well as enhancing students’ experiences of the
game. A comparison of students that played the educational game with the off-task interaction
included to those who played without it, indicate that the former had a more positive experience
