Face-to-Face Interaction with Pedagogical Agents, Twenty Years Later

摘要: Johnson et al. (International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 11, 47–78, 2000) introduced and surveyed a new paradigm for interactive learning environments: animated pedagogical agents. The article argued combining interface agent technologies with intelligent environments, yielding systems that can interact learners natural, human-like ways to achieve better outcomes. We outlined variety possible uses But we offered only preliminary evidence they improve learning, leaving future research development. Twenty years have elapsed since work began on This re-examines the concepts predictions 2000 context current state field. Some ideas paper become well established widely adopted, especially game-based environments. Others are now being realized, thanks advances immersive interfaces robotics enable rich face-to-face interaction between Research has confirmed agents be beneficial, but not equally all problems, applications, learner populations. Although there is growing body findings about agents, many questions remain much remains done.
