“…In our previous work, we proposed the design of the interfaces of Blended Learning systems according to a dialogue metaphor, in which the system and the student are represented by an agent in the system and their sentences appear next to the speaking agent to clearly identify the dialogue turn and to help follow the human-computer conversation for students without computer skills (Pascual-Nieto et al 2009). …”

A pedagogic conversational agent (PCA) can be defined as a computer system that interacts with the student in natural language assuming the role of the instructor, a student or a companion. It can have a personality and can generate different sentences according to the agent or the student mood. Empathy with the students' feelings seems to increase their motivation to study. However, the influence of the agent personality and role as well as the students' opinion is still unclear. Therefore, in this article, it is explored with the help of a field experiment, for the first time, how these factors can affect the interaction of children with PCAs, and their opinions according to an anonymous and voluntary opinion questionnaire and some personal interviews.
