“…Uma proposta para minimizar essas questões é a inserção de agentes inteligentes. Sklar [2006] aponta a existência de três tipos de agentes inteligentes: os agentes pedagógicos, os peer learning agents (agente companheiro) e os agentes de demonstração. O agente companheiro busca simular o comportamento humano, atuando por meio da construção de um relacionamento com os estudantes [Boff 2008].…”

Abstract. The test activity is a critical element, considering that the costs associated with software failures are usually high. However, students in computing areas complete their training only with theoretical knowledge. The present study had the objective, through the technique of Digital Storytelling, to develop the play that was told the routine of a software tester; And through interaction with intelligent chatterbots to work the basics of area. A usability assessment was performed to analyze the effectiveness of the play and chatterbot. In the evaluation of the students the environment presents potential to assist the teaching of tests.Resumo. A atividade de teste é um elemento crítico, considerando os altos custos associados às falhas de software. Contudo, a maioria dos estudantes de computação se formam apenas com o conhecimento teórico sobre a área. Buscando diversificar as estratégias para o ensino de testes de software, este artigo apresenta uma peça teatral desenvolvida em um Mundo Virtual 3D, baseada na técnica de Digital Storytelling, que "conta a história" da rotina de um testador de software. Ainda, por meio da interação com um agente conversacional (chatterbot) trabalharam-se os conceitos básicos de área. Com uma avaliação de usabilidade se analisou a efetividade desta abordagem, destacando-se o potencial do ambiente para auxiliar o ensino de testes.

“…-The pedagogical module, or tutor, is the instructional, or teaching, component [27] which contains a set of rules about how to control and influence the student's learning process. The tutoring system uses this module to guide the student through the knowledge domain [29].…”

Abstract. This paper explores the application of argumentation dialogues to an Interactive Learning System (ILS). The goal of an ILS is to provide an adaptive learning experience for a student within a particular domain, where the system adjusts dynamically as the student makes mistakes and learns from them. The system needs to be able to represent beliefs about the student's knowledge, and to update these beliefs as the student learns. The system also needs to have models of the domain and of an expert's actions within the domain, in order to compare and evaluate the student's actions. Finally, the system needs to provide appropriate feedback to the student, in such a way as to encourage learning. The work presented here describes a framework for such a system, built upon our earlier work on education dialogues.

“…Whereas non-educational interactive agent-based systems are designed to be good assistants, simplifying a user's experiences, systems built for human learning should provide challenges for Sklar & Richards, 2006), and (c) intelligent tutoring system (from Beck et al, 1996) 114 E .

Applying intelligent agent technologies to support human learning activities has been the subject of recent work that reaches across computer science and education disciplines. This article discusses agent-based approaches that have been designed to address a range of pedagogical and/or curricular tasks. Three types of agents are identified in the literature:pedagogical agents,peer-learning agents, anddemonstrating agents. Features of each type are considered, as well as the systems in which these agents are incorporated, examining common and divergent goals, system and agent architectures, and evaluation methodologies. Open issues are highlighted, and future directions for this burgeoning interdisciplinary field are suggested.
