Abstract

Educational support robots have been the focus of study in recent years. Studies have reported that robots providing educational support, based on cognitive apprenticeship theory, provided learners with effective collaborative learning. However, the robots were remote controlled, so no behavioral model was constructed of robots operating autonomously to provide educational support. Therefore, in this paper, we construct a behavioral model in which robots autonomously provide educational support based on cognitive apprenticeship theory. In addition, through a comparative experiment with a behavioral model providing educational support in accordance with learner requests, which is a conventional technique, we verify the learning effects of this behavioral model on university students.
