The Construction of an Evaluation Index System for Assistive Teaching Robots Aimed at Sustainable Learning

A typical example of a robot used in education is the assistive teaching robot, which has much potential to enhance teaching and learning as well as to promote sustainable learning. However, there needs to be formalized selection and evaluation procedures for robotic teaching assistants. To address this need, this paper presents a function evaluation system framework for assistive teaching robots, which includes four dimensions: system structure, appearance interface, teaching function, and auxiliary support. This study employed the framework of the DANP method to examine the extent of influence of various indicators. The analysis focused on determining the critical components of the function evaluation system for assistive teaching robots. Ultimately, the study concluded that two crucial factors in this evaluation system emerged: teaching function and auxiliary support. These two aspects are also key elements in promoting sustainable learning. Moreover, recommendations are made for designing and selecting suitable assistive teaching robot products, aiming to serve as an exemplary framework for future product development and implementing educational activities within school settings, while further contributing to the realization of sustainable learning.
