新素养 批判质疑 It's highly possible that robots will be used to help human teachers in the near future. That's according to a study by scientists from universities in the USA，Japan and Europe. The study has looked up more than 100 published articles，which have shown robots to be effective(有效的）in increasing learning results.
Because of pressures on teaching budgets and calls for more personalized teaching，scientists have started to build robots for the classroom—not the robots used to learn about technology and Maths，but social robots that can actually teach.
The study shows that robots are skilled in teaching certain subjects，such as vocabulary and numbers. Robots can free up time for teachers，allowing them to focus on what people still do best.
Recent development in China may provide us with a glimpse（一瞥）of the future. The Hong Kong-based English language newspaper，South China Morning Post，has reported some kindergartens（幼儿园）across China have used AI robots to help interact with their pupils. The AI robots interact with the young children by playing games with them，singing，dancing，reading stories，carrying out conversations and even doing Maths. Since 2016，the AI robots have been used in about 200 kindergartens across China，the newspaper reported.
So can we expect to see robots helping us at school? How soon will it be before you see a robot in a classroom near you?
