Proposal of a System Architecture based on Emerging Technologies to motivate and engage STEM undergraduate students

EasyChair Preprint 311

Abstract

In this document, we propose a system architecture that aims to improve the performance and learning of basic sciences in STEM undergraduate students at Peruvian national universities. For this purpose, we first analyze the problems that arise in the most representative STEM university of Peru, the National University of Engineering (UNI by its initials in Spanish). Then, we review some papers with topics on STEM education, Human-Agent Interaction and Artificial Intelligence to finally propose the mentioned system and explain how it works. So, since the present document contains the first progress of a project that is currently under development, it will serve as a basis for future experiments, which will be defined and discussed at the end of this paper.

Keyphrases: Gamification, active learning and learning, human-agent interaction, intrinsic motivation, social robotics, undergraduate education
