  • Abstract
    Teachable agents help students learn more effectively through the benefits of learning-by-teaching. Our field study has shown that learners do not benefit fully from learning with teachable agents due to a lack focus in engaging in learning tasks. We propose the persuasive teachable agent user model as a means to understand individual user learning needs through persuasion theory in order to address these issues, with a small group study displaying encouraging results in improving learning interest among learners.
