A Task-Driven Instructional Design and Application Study for Pepper Robot

Abstract

This study proposes a task-driven instructional design, which is an 8-weeks Pepper robotic courses, that students need to upload their program to Pepper robot and demonstrate it to the whole class. The study data is collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews between teachers and students. In this study, we designed a task-driven instructional design with four steps. A teaching case of this instructional design in the Pepper robot course is presented. Finally, this paper discovered that the task-driven teaching based on Pepper robot can not only increase students' programming interests, but also improve students' creative tendency, problem solving tendency, metacognition tendency and cooperation tendency.
