ABSTRACT
While the environment of schools become more and more complicated, the improvement of teachers' skills in teaching and management is required. In this study, we focus on the development of a Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) platform of simulated school environment, which can be utilized for teacher training or the examination of teacher recruitment from remote. This system is comprised of two front ends, one is a simulated classroom for the trainee, the other one is the interface for the system operator / investigator. The virtual classroom contains a number of virtual students who are controlled by the operator from the remote. The operator can observe the trainee from a dedicated interface and control the behaviors of any individual student as well as the atmosphere of the whole class. The whole-class atmosphere created by relatively large number of students is modeled as a concentration-arousal two dimensional space. The prototype system is evaluated with subject experiment and the results are reported.
