The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a partner-type robot in enhancing computational thinking among humanities students with no prior programming experience.
Designed an experiment with three learning scenarios: robot competition, human partner, and control group.
Engaged humanities students using board games that foster computational thinking.
Compared learning outcomes across different conditions to assess the robot's impact.
Students who learned with the robot demonstrated improved computational thinking skills compared to the control group.
Competition with the robot increased engagement and motivation in the learning process.
No significant improvement was noted in the control group that did not interact with any programming materials.
