Abstract

Mathematics is a fundamental core subject of STEM education. However, mathematics concepts are abstract and many students having difficulties to understand it. Moreover, some students are lack of confident, having negative feelings towards mathematics, feel not relax and cannot focus in mathematics class. Furthermore, university classes usually are large scale that make individualized assistance difficult to achieve. Conversational agents (CA), an automated computer software, allow users to interact with it through human language dialogues may implement into education to support the teaching and learning process. Nonetheless, CA still in the beginning stage to implement in education domain where the CA research in this domain, especially mathematics subject, is found scarce. This study is to incorporate CA into undergraduate mathematics learning. This paper is to present the research framework based on Vygotsky’s ideas and research design with mixed-methods using multi-instruments.
