摘要: This study proposes a platform to provide a near-authentic environment, context, and situation for task-based learning. The platform includes two projection screens (a vertical and a horizontal screen) combined for situated or authentic learning. The horizontal screen extends the vertical screen scene to form a space for learning activities and performance. The platform creates learning situations using robots as surrogates of students to accomplish real-life tasks. Kolb's four-stage experiential learning cyclical model was adopted in the learning design. A simple practice was developed to examine the effect on teaching children English as a foreign language. The results reveal that children could engage deeply and feel more enjoyment using the system. Moreover, as surrogates for students to imagine that they are accomplishing real-life missions, robots could be a vital element of authentic learning in future classrooms. 出版者: Abingdon: Routledge 出版日期: 2013-04-01 出處: Interactive learning environments, 2013-04, Vol.21 (2), p.172-183 資源來源: Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) 版權: Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 2013 版權: Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC 識別號: ISSN: 1049-4820 識別號: EISSN: 1744-5191 識別號: DOI: 10.1080/10494820.2012.705856
