| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to develop a TA Robot supporting group work in active learning in higher education, two studies were conducted. One is a research about group work, the other is experimental research of educational effects of utilizing the characteristics of robot.
In the former, we identified problems related to social anxiety and grouping of students. As for the latter, we confirmed the effect of demonstration of pair work using body and the effect of promoting task execution via being watched by a robot.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究を通して、将来的にロボットTAに組み込めるグループ編成支援システムの要件の一部を明らかにすることができた。また、ロボットの身体という特徴に注目して、ノートパソコンやタブレットなどとは異なる側面での、教育・学習場面での効果を実証できたことは大きな意義を持つ。
教育分野でのテクノロジー活用の一端として、近い将来にロボットの利用は本格的に検討されるであろう。本研究の成果は、その有効性を議論するための有用な知見となると考える。
