FRACTOS: Learning to be a better learner by building fractions

Abstract

Real-world learning interactions happening in classrooms, often involve children interacting simultaneously with teachers and peer learners. FRACTOS is a triadic learning interaction system which is structured to emphasize the learner on different phases of self-regulation such as planning, performance and reflection while engaging in a constructionist task of building fractions using virtual LEGO blocks with a virtual tutor and robot peer.
