本文报道了我们的实验结果，旨在调查在小学科学课，其中教学功能进行了远程操作的人类教师的机器人的教育过程。实验中使用的机器人SAYA具有类似人类的外观和行为，如面部表情，头部和眼睛运动以及语音。在实验中，教师远程控制SAYA的行为，从而管理机器人与学生的互动。实验重现了一个典型的杠杆课，在他们的科学教室里给两组普通的六年级学生（23和22名学生）。课程包括理论学习、杠杆秤实验和评估活动。本研究采用质性研究方法，以引出与课堂沟通，教学策略，学习活动和知识获取相关的教育过程的特征。本文介绍了我们的研究结果，并讨论了进一步的研究方向。
This paper reports results of our experiment aimed to investigate the educational process in an elementary school science class, in which teaching functions are carried out by an android robot remotely operated by a human instructor. The robot SAYA, used in the experiments, has human-like appearance and behaviors such as facial expressions, head and eye movements, and speech. In the experiment the instructor remotely controlled SAYA’s behaviors, thus managing the interaction of the robot with the students. The experiment recreated a typical lesson on levers that was given to two ordinary groups of sixth graders (23 and 22 students) in their science classroom. The lesson included theoretical learning, experiments with lever balances, and assessment activities. The study utilized qualitative research methods so as to elicit characteristic features of the educational process related to in-class communication, instructional strategies, learning activities, and knowledge acquisition. The paper presents our findings and discusses directions of further research.
