Abstract

This paper provides a framework for a pedagogical agent to be used as a change agent to motivate preservice teachers to integrate technology into their future classrooms. This paper focuses on the effects of a pedagogical agent as a change agent on motivational outcomes and its hybrid characteristics as a mentor, a motivator and a companion. This paper examines the need of a change agent for preservice teachers within the models of innovation-decision process, attributes of adoption of innovation and concern-based adoption. This paper also proposes the use of a pedagogical agent as a change agent for changes in their persuasion, perception and concerns toward technology integration. In addition, design considerations are discussed in terms of the use of a single pedagogical agent and its appearance, voice and emotional expression.
