Research on the Design of Project-based Teaching & Learning Mode Assisted by Educational Robot

Abstract

In view of the problems existing in the current implementation of project-based learning, such as teachers pay too little attention to students' basic theoretical knowledge, students' low participation in learning and the limitations of using information technology, this paper considers the application of autonomous mobile educational robots to assist project-based learning under the background of artificial intelligence (AI). First, according to the six characteristics of robot-assisted instruction, we discuss the functional modules of autonomous mobile educational robots that assist project-based learning should have, also, guided by the constructivism theory, combined with the general project-based teaching mode and the functional characteristics of autonomous mobile educational robots assisting project-based teaching, we reconstruct the elements of teaching system, and a project-based teaching mode assisted by autonomous mobile educational robots is designed. Then, a learning platform corresponding to the teaching mode of this paper is developed by using enterprise WeChat to further assist the teaching & learning process. Finally, in order to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the teaching model, the experimental course of” Principles of Computer Composition” for sophomore is selected to carry out corresponding teaching practice, the results demonstrate that the teaching mode has positive effects on improving students' motivation, participation, interest in the material, and collaborative learning abilities.
