The Relationship between Learner Characteristic and Interest in Teachable Agent

Introduction The researchers in the field of cognitive science and learning science suggest that teachable agent (TA) induces the effective learning (Kim et al., 2005). However, the effects of TA on interest are not universal. Rather its motivational effect may vary depending on individual characteristics of the learner. This study is conducted to investigate what kinds of learner’s individual characteristics are related to the task interest in using a teachable agent (TA) program.
