Development of Robotic Quiz Games for Self-Regulated Learning of Primary School Children

摘要

The progressive development of information technology has provided multiple learning modes. The rich content and innovative applications available allow pupils to improve their skills through self-regulated learning (SRL), which has become an important education goal. Intelligent robots can be used in a wide range of applications, from programmed movements for learning activities, to the combination of artificial intelligence and sensor technology for human life and education. A robot's dynamic and interesting interface is more suitable for children's self-regulated learning. This study used a Zenbo robot as the development tool and Zenbo Scratch platform programming to develop an AI robot math quiz game for primary school students. Two elementary school math teachers, and a parent and a 5th grade primary school student were involved in the development of the game. This study used the parent's and student's continuous interaction with the robot to adjust the code and achieve the best human-computer interaction in robotic mathematics problem solving. Moreover, this study developed a companion robot for a math quiz game, which can be used for reviewing what has been learned in class. The robot can be used for self-regulated learning by young children to increase student learning outcome.
