Applied Software Agents mechanism to Mathematics Learning in Elementary School

The main purpose of this study is to construct a learning system with a pedagogical agent to assist grade 6 elementary school students to learn mathematics. In order to make up for the shortage of feedback in traditional on-line learning systems, this system manipulates a pedagogical agent mechanism to raise student motivations and give them prompt feedback to support and improve their mathematics learning. Concerning the purpose of understanding this system´s various effects for different level students (high, average, and low), this study uses an experimental approach with 62 students as the sample and conducts t-test for statistical processing among levels. In addition, the researchers interviewed participants for greater understanding of the learning effects utilizing this system. The study found that the pedagogical agent has a valuable, positive, and efficient effect on students´ mathematics learning no matter if their mathematics levels are high, average, or low.
