Abstract

This research investigated the impact of pedagogical agents on the mathematics performance of undergraduate students. The study randomly assigned 89 students to either an experimental group, which received the platform integrated with the pedagogical agent, or a control group, which received instruction without the assistance of a pedagogical agent. The objective of this research is to create and implement an online learning platform that incorporates a pedagogical agent to deliver mathematics subjects. Additionally, the study aims to assess the impact of the pedagogical agent on students' mathematics performance in the context of online learning. The results indicated that the experimental group has significant improvement after using the online learning platform which was integrated with the pedagogical agent. These findings suggest that the use of pedagogical agents can effectively improve mathematics learning outcomes for undergraduate students. With the motivation and encouragement phrases by the pedagogical agent, the students were able to perform better in the post-test. Further research is recommended to examine the potential of pedagogical agents in different contexts and with diverse student populations
