| Popis: | 96 The rapid development of virtual characters has enormous influence on human-computer interaction and the perception of people. The empathic pedagogical agents in the character of a motivator has been proved that they can make the students more engaged in the learning system. However, there are few studies on whether a motivator’s gender will influence the perception of students in the learning system, besides there are few studies on designing pedagogical agents which have different empathic strategies to interact with learners. In order to address these problems, we design two interactive caring agent in the character of a motivator called Maggie and Kim who uses some verbal and nonverbal behaviors and two kinds of empathic strategies to interact with students. We invited 30 students to participate in our experiments. Each subjects will do three kinds of experiments(whether the agent with nonverbal behavior 、different agent’s gender and different empathic caring strategies will influence students using learning system?). The initial result show that the agent with nonverbal caring behavior has a positive influence on student’s perception. In the gender aspect, the initial result show that the students who uses Maggie as motivator has more engaged in learning and feel more cared. Finally, the agents who uses our empathic strategies can let them felt more cared and improve their trustworthy of our learning system. |
