Till AIED konferensen 15th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education, in Auckland, Nya Zeeland, presenterade Lena Pareto och kollegorna Tobias Arvemo (Högskolan Väst), Ylva Dahl (Uddevalla Skolor), Magnus Haake samt Agneta Gulz (Lund Universitet) följande artikel 2011 :A Teachable-Agent Arithmetic Game’s effects on Mathematics Understanding, Attitude and Self-Efficacy (eftersom artikeln publiceras internationellt, är den på engelska.)
Abstrakt: A teachable-agent arithmetic game is presented and evaluated in terms of student performance, attitude and self-efficacy. An experimental pre-post study design was used, enrolling 153 3rd and 5th grade students in Sweden. The playing group showed significantly larger gains in math performance and self-efficacy beliefs, but not in general attitude towards math, than the control groups. The contributions in relation to previous work include a new educational game being evaluated, and an emphasis on self-efficacy in the study as a strong predictor of math achievements. » Läs mer
