Is Learning by Teaching Interesting? : A Comparison of Teachable Agent with Peer Tutoring
نویسنده
چکیده
The researchers in the field of cognitive science and learning science suggest that the teaching activity induces the elaborative and meaningful learning (Chi, et al, 2001). Teachable agent (TA) is a modified version of traditional intelligent tutoring system that assigns a role tutor to teach the agent. To validate the effectiveness of the specific TA, KORI (KORea university Intelligent agent), in terms of cognition and motivation, the effect of learning by teaching the KORI was compared with peer tutoring and traditional method of learning by reading.
