Role assignment analysis of an assistive robotic platform in a high school mathematics class, through a gamification and usability evaluation

This project implements an assistive robotic platform in a mathematics high school class to support the professor’s teaching ; process while analyzing its performance by using a gamification approach and the Octalysis framework. The results obtained ; from this study evaluated both the platform usability and the general class perception from the students and the professors ; involved in the experimentation. This paper demonstrates that the implementation of a robotic platform as a supportive tool ; for the professor improves the class’ dynamism and the cooperative behavior of the students, by following the Octalysis ; approach. Finally, the results helped to determine a better role assignment for future cases where the professor implements a ; robotic platform during class, leaving the theoretical explanations and class control to the professor, and giving the robot the ; role of enhancing the activities and review exercises.
