摘要: 当前对于教学代理的研究大多都通过改善代理本身的属性和特征来提高其教学效果,很少有研究探讨增加代理的互动特征的作用。本研究将探讨测验是否能够作为代理互动的特征促进学习效果。实验采用2(有代理、无代理)×2(测验、重复学习)的被试间设计来探讨代理与测验对学习效果以及社会存在感、心理努力和学习动机等主观体验的影响。结果发现,代理和测验都可以分别有效促进学习效果;代理测验组的学习者表现最好;代理的存在提高了学习者的社会存在感、心理努力、学习动机以及学习兴趣;测验会提高学习者的社会存在感、心理努力和感知材料难度,降低学习者的学习兴趣和学习动机。在实际的教学视频的设计中,不仅要考虑加入教学代理的形象,同时也应该提高代理与学习者之间的互动。

Abstract: Most of the previous studies on pedagogical agents focused on their effect by improving the attributes and characteristics of the agents themselves, but few studies explored the role of the interactive characteristics of the agents. Therefore, this study explored whether testing can be used as a feature of agent interaction to facilitate learning. The experiment used 2 (agent vs. without agent) × 2 (testing vs. restudy) between-subjects design to explore the effect of agent and testing on learning and subjective experience such as social presence, mental effort and learning motivation. The results showed that both agent and testing can effectively promote learning respectively. Learners in the agent-testing group performed best. The existence of agent improved learners’ social presence, mental effort, learning motivation and interest. Testing could improve learners’ social presence, mental effort and perceived material difficulty, and reduced learners’ interest and motivation. In the design of the practical instructional video, we should not only consider adding the image of the pedagogical agent, but also improve the interaction between the agent and the learners.

Key words: pedagogical agents, testing, multimedia learning, social presence, transfer performance
