培养儿童提问技能的教学代理
Pedagogical Agents for Fostering Question-Asking Skills in Children
摘要：
提问是建构学术知识的重要工具，也是好奇心自我强化的驱动力。然而，研究发现，课堂上提问并不常见，孩子们的问题往往是肤浅的，缺乏深层的推理。在这项工作中，我们开发了一种教学代理，鼓励孩子们提出发散性思维的问题，这是一种与好奇心相关的更复杂的问题形式。我们对95名五年级学生进行了一项研究，他们与一个鼓励收敛思维或发散思维问题的代理人进行了互动。结果表明，这两种干预措施增加了发散思维问题的数量和流畅的提问，而他们并没有显着改变儿童的好奇心的看法，尽管他们的高内在动机分数。此外，儿童的好奇心特质有一个中介作用下的发散思维代理人的提问，这表明提问干预措施必须个性化的基础上，他们的好奇心倾向于每个学生。
英文摘要：
Question asking is an important tool for constructing academic knowledge, and a self-reinforcing driver of curiosity. However, research has found that question asking is infrequent in the classroom and children's questions are often superficial, lacking deep reasoning. In this work, we developed a pedagogical agent that encourages children to ask divergent-thinking questions, a more complex form of questions that is associated with curiosity. We conducted a study with 95 fifth grade students, who interacted with an agent that encourages either convergent-thinking or divergent-thinking questions. Results showed that both interventions increased the number of divergent-thinking questions and the fluency of question asking, while they did not significantly alter children's perception of curiosity despite their high intrinsic motivation scores. In addition, children's curiosity trait has a mediating effect on question asking under the divergent-thinking agent, suggesting that question-asking interventions must be personalized to each student based on their tendency to be curious.
