Learning verbs by teaching a care-receiving robot by children: an experimental report

Published:05 March 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

We investigate the use of care-receiving robot (CRR) for the purpose of supporting childhood education. In contrast to the conventional teaching agents that are designed to play the role of human teachers or caregivers, the robot here receives cares from children. We hypothesize that by using this CRR, we may construct a new educational framework whose goal is to promote children's spontaneous learning by teaching through teaching the CRR. The paper describes an experiment for investigating whether a CRR can promote children's learning English verbs through teaching it.
