Paper Abstract:
|
This study examined the impact of social robot's politeness strategy on the learning outcome and interest of children.
The experimental study employed a within-subject design to investigate the effect of social robot's politeness strategy.
The dependent variables are children's learning outcomes and learning interests. A total of 40 participants were involved.
Participants' learning interests are measured by the Study Interest Questionnaire (SIQ), which included three aspects:
feeling, value, and intrinsic. The results showed that there was no significant difference between children's learning
outcomes and the level of politeness with social robots. However, in terms of learning interest, a higher level of polite
feedback may be more beneficial to children. The findings of this experiment should be of value to people involved in the
design of children's learning material with the social robots and those who work on interaction design with children. |
