- Role assignment analysis of an assistive robotic platform in a high school mathematics class, through a gamification and usability evaluation(Springer, 2020-09-18) Baltazar Reyes, Germán Eduardo; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Mazon Parra, Nancy; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/01tmp8f25This project implements an assistive robotic platform in a mathematics high school class to support the professor’s teaching process while analyzing its performance by using a gamification approach and the Octalysis framework. The results obtained from this study evaluated both the platform usability and the general class perception from the students and the professors involved in the experimentation. This paper demonstrates that the implementation of a robotic platform as a supportive tool for the professor improves the class’ dynamism and the cooperative behavior of the students, by following the Octalysis approach. Finally, the results helped to determine a better role assignment for future cases where the professor implements a robotic platform during class, leaving the theoretical explanations and class control to the professor, and giving the robot the role of enhancing the activities and review exercises.
- Improving education in developing countries using robotic platforms(Springer, 2019-05-24) Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Baltazar Reyes, Germán Eduardo; Mazon Parra, Nancy; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/01tmp8f25In developing countries, educational programs have been using an out of date teaching methodology, where students’ only work is to listen to the professors’ lessons without having practical applications or hands-on experience, thereby provoking a decrease in student attention span, motivation, and boredom with learning processes. This work proposes the use of robotic platforms inside elementary schools and universities to improve and evaluate the usability and efectiveness of robots on students’ attention spans, motivation, and knowledge acquirement during their classes. This work mentions a case of study in Mexico where the use of the robotic platforms was evaluated. To evaluate the learning process of undergraduate students, a hexapod robot was used throughout a basic programming course to help the students learn about robotics programming and path planning algorithms. At the end of the course, several surveys were given to the students to evaluate their perceptions about the course and the use of the robotic platform. In the elementary school, a NAO Robot was used to give students four diferent diligences in physics, mathematics and physical education classes. During these experimentations, the attention span of the students and their ability to use the robotic platforms were observed, using a behavior observation protocol; also, their knowledge acquisition before and after class was evaluated. The results showed that the use of a robotic platform in class helps the students improve their knowledge acquisition and increases their motivation and attention span. Also, the surveys and usability analysis demonstrate that the design of the diligences and course projects were sufcient to generate greater interest among the students in the topics taught in school.
- Robotic platform for teaching maths in junior high school(Springer, 2017-06-09) López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Cervera Finkenthal, Luis Antonio; Iza Lizárraga, Sara Paulina; Mazon Parra, Nancy; LOPEZ CAUDANA, EDGAR OMAR; 69726; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/01tmp8f25; Pham, Duc TruongThis paper describes a structured methodology to improve the attention in math classes based on a NAO robot. Although there are several papers that use NAO as a social robot, this paper goes further integrating the robot inside the classes as well as an assistive tool to support the teachers. A multidisciplinary work was implemented with the junior high school in which the NAO robot was used. Two focus groups were established for the study. One of them use the robot during the classes and the other one was running the classes in conventional manner. A comparison about the students’ attention was conducted to validate the proposed methodology. The results show that the level of attention and motivation were improved.
