    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Educational software based on teachable agents has\nrepeatedly proven to have positive effects on students’\nlearning outcomes. The strongest effects have been shown for\nlow-performers. A number of mechanisms have been\nproposed to explore this outcome, in particular mechanisms\nthat involve attributions of social agency to teachable agents.\nOur study examined whether an expression of high versus\nlow self-efficacy in a teachable agent would affect low-\nperforming students with respect to their learning outcomes\nand with respect to a potential change in their own self-\nefficacy. The learning domain was mathematics, specifically\nthe base-ten system. Results were that the learning outcomes\nof low-performers who taught a low self-efficacy agent were\nsignificantly better than the learning outcomes of low-\nperformers who taught a high self-efficacy agent. There were\nno effects from the manipulation of self-efficacy expressed by\nthe teachable agent on changes of the low-performing\nstudents’ own self-efficacy.",
