Makale Özeti:

Animated agents are electronic agents that interact with learners through voice, visuals
or text and that carry human-like characteristics such as gestures and facial expressions
with the purpose of creating a social learning environment, and provide information and
guidance and when required feedback and motivation to students during their learning
experience. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of the use of pedagogical agents
in learning materials designed in multimedia on the achievement and attitudes of
students. A general evaluation of the research findings indicate that the use of
multimedia software developed by using pedagogical agents positively affects student
achievement and attitude. The achievement of the students who worked with the
software significantly increased, but no significant difference in terms of different
pedagogical agents was observed. The comparison of the student’s attitudes revealed no
significant difference in terms of different pedagogical agents, yet the attitudes
regarding “bearing human features” showed positively significant difference for the
software with body shot of a real person. As it is seen in the unstructured interviews with
the participants conducted during and after the experimental process, it should be stated
that the students had positive attitudes towards the software and the use of pedagogical
agent and expressed their liking.
