  • Abstract
    Robot teacher have been used in many large country, but not in Malaysia. The question is, are the applications of robot teacher suitable to be used in Malaysia, or more specific, among their technical students in university level? Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explain the construction of an experiment that specially designed to measure the effectiveness of teaching by human and robot teacher. To construct the experiment, a vast number of existing researches is studied to identify their method used in applying robot teacher for their experiment. In this work, it then decided to do an experiment that required a comparative data between human teacher and robot teacher. The variables in this experiment are gap of time of the experiment held, and the lecture speech by both robot and human teacher. A number of students are selected to be the participants for this experiment. At the end of this paper, a complete experiment design is created to measure the effectiveness of teaching among technical students in Malaysia.
