本文描述了一种语音驱动的拟人智能体的角色效果评估，该拟人化智能体已经体现在智能教学系统(ITS)的界面中。该代理负责在环境中指导学生并传达系统的反馈消息。根据它对学生学习、行为和经验的影响，对该代理进行了评估。实验参与者被分成两组：其中一半人使用包含代理的ITS版本，其余的使用无代理版本。这项研究的结果证实了这样的假设，即在智能交通系统中加入教学代理可以提高学生的学习体验。另一方面，关于药物的存在会改善短期学习效果的假设被驳回。
This paper describes the evaluation of the persona effect of a speech-driven anthropomorphic agent that has been embodied in the interface of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS). This agent is responsible for guiding the student in the environment and communicating the system's feedback messages. The agent was evaluated in terms of the effect that it could have on students' learning, behaviour and experience. The participants in the experiment were divided into two groups: half of them worked with a version of the ITS which embodied the agent and the rest worked with an agent-less version. The results from this study confirm the hypothesis that a pedagogical agent incorporated in an ITS can enhance students' learning experience. On the other hand, the hypothesis that the presence of the agent improves short-term learning effects was rejected.
