Teacher Perspectives on the Potential for Scaffolding with an Open Learner Model and a Robotic Tutor.
Aiden Jones, Susan Bull, Ginevra Castellano · 2013
Abstract. This paper considers the potential for scaffolding learning in open-ended learning environments using a robotic tutor and an open learner model. While we expect this approach to be more broadly applicable, we here illustrate with a map-reading activity in geography and/or environmental sciences. The paper presents issues raised in open-ended teacher interviews, which suggest real possibilities for incorporating a robotic tutor together with an open learner model in the classroom.
