According to "Robots in the classroom help autistic children learn," using robot to teach autistic children may help them learn better than teacher becuase they can join with robot easier than teacher who seem to be threaten for them. Moreover, robot which is created to have a form like children and is programmed to act like them can attract children to learn and communicate with it better.
In my opinion, robot looks like a toy or some charactors in game, so it is easy to motivate children to study with it. Espectially for autistic children who trend to get an access to other people more difficult than normal children, therefore, to study with robot that look kind and lovely in unfamiliar place like new school will help children with autism to feel more comfortable, enjoyable and not scared. Not only use robot for autistic children, but also use for all children.
However, I think that person can teach children more than robot because person have many different emotions which children will face in daily life. Moreover, he can understand need of personal children better than robot. This make teacher can give a proper way to teach each children, that will help to develope knowlede skills of children faster.

ReplyDeleteI think that animals understand animals' feelings. However, Robots don't understand animals' feelings.
I don't think that they invented the robots to play with these children. Inversely, I think they invented because small group of people like this kind of job. A teacher of these special children not only teach and play with them but the teacher also closely take care of them. Many teacher like teaching but they cannot tolerate working as nursemaids or parents.
