以前的研究已经强调了教学会话代理使用面向社会的对话与学生的好处。在这项工作中,我们研究的影响,一个会话代理人的使用亲和和自我挫败的幽默-被认为有利于社会福祉和加强人际关系-对学习者的代理人的看法和对任务的态度。使用科目之间的协议,58名参与者教一个会话代理岩石分类使用学习教学平台,Curriculum笔记本。虽然所有的代理人都是好奇和热情的,幽默的风格被操纵,使代理人要么表达一种亲和的风格,一种自我挫败的风格,或者没有幽默。结果表明,亲和幽默可以显着增加动机和努力,而自我挫败的幽默,虽然提高努力,负面影响享受。调查结果进一步强调了在使用幽默时了解学习者特征的重要性。

英文摘要:

Previous studies have highlighted the benefits of pedagogical conversational agents using socially-oriented conversation with students. In this work, we examine the effects of a conversational agent's use of affiliative and self-defeating humour -- considered conducive to social well-being and enhancing interpersonal relationships -- on learners' perception of the agent and attitudes towards the task. Using a between-subjects protocol, 58 participants taught a conversational agent about rock classification using a learning-by-teaching platform, the Curiosity Notebook. While all agents were curious and enthusiastic, the style of humour was manipulated such that the agent either expressed an affiliative style, a self-defeating style, or no humour. Results demonstrate that affiliative humour can significantly increase motivation and effort, while self-defeating humour, although enhancing effort, negatively impacts enjoyment. Findings further highlight the importance of understanding learner characteristics when using humour.
