Abstract | Young children are growing up in a digital age that is constantly evolving. They are experiencing new and emerging technologies, such as mobile devices, virtual reality, smart toys, voice-activated assistants, and social robots. This article focuses on exploring what social robots are and how they could disrupt and transform early childhood education. Social robots and have been defined as "an autonomous or semiautonomous robot that interacts and communicates with humans by following the behavioural norms expected by the people with whom the robot is intended to interact." With these characteristics, social robots have the potential to take on different relationship-based roles, such as companions, friends, peers, and tutors. Children may anthropomorphize social robots, assigning human emotions, such as feeling happy or sad, to them. This tendency to view social robots in anthropomorphic ways can influence how children respond to social robots. Young children may even believe social robots have biological functions, such as eating and growing. Because of these perceptions, it is important to understand children's views and expectations of social robots, especially when they are used for educational purposes. (ERIC). |
