dc.description.abstract | Learning should be acquired by one’s own experience under the authentic environment, many educators have advocated that students should learn in real situations, such as Dewey, Piaget, Kolb and so on. The learning environment today, students are passive receivers of knowledge; lack of opportunities for using and applying what they’ve learned in real situations.
For carrying out an authentic learning environment in classrooms, this thesis introduces an Interactive-stage Learning System (ISLS). We utilized the theatrical stage-based environment set up and mixed-reality technology to provide a complete learning situational background; teachers can merge learning contents into the system and utilize the ISLS to assist students learning; students can acquire the experience through personal involvement and learn by hands-on experience. In addition, from the idea of experiential learning , we add the responsive mechanism in the system, the stage will response the immediate feedback based on the knowledge students used, then students can check their comprehension. In our system, we use a robot to replace students into the scene, and the robot is as a learning companion with students to help them complete the learning tasks. During the system using, robot will give emotional feedback, for instance, being idle for certain period, the robot would snore to impel students to give enthusiastic act response. The results of the experiment show that the ISLS increase the learners’ learning effectiveness, presence, and learning motivation.
