DEF

[Instruction using] programs that understand the student’s internal cognitive structures; are able to analyse a student’s answer to a question and determine which parts of the question confuse the student. They then use that information to provide very specific instruction. A system of this type would be a substitute for a very competent and experienced teacher.

CONT

Intelligent Computer-Assisted Instruction(ICAI)... encompasses two primary areas. One is instructional programs that model the learner... These programs collect detailed data about the student's work and formulate a hypothesis about what the student knows and is thinking.... The other area is the use of expert systems... that contain all known information on a particular topic, a set of logic that ties all this information together..., and in some cases a program that allows a person to converse easily and in natural language with the computer.

CONT

The components of an ICAI program are problem-solving expertise, student model, and tutoring module.

OBS

For historical reasons, much of the research in the field of educational software involving artificial intelligence has been conducted under the name of "ICAI." This acronym stands for "Intelligent Computer-Aided Instruction," a phrase that evolved out of the name "Computer-Aided Instruction" (CAI) ... Most recently, "ICAI" has often been replaced by the acronym "ITS," for "Intelligent Tutoring Systems"....

Key term(s)
  • intelligent computer-based tutoring
  • intelligent computer-based teaching

French

Domaine(s)

DEF

Enseignement à partir du principe que les programmes à vocation pédagogique devraient être eux-mêmes des experts du domaine capables de résoudre les problèmes posés de différentes façons, de suivre et de critiquer les solutions de l'étudiant.

CONT

L'E.I.A.O. consiste à appliquer la technicité des systèmes experts à l'E.A.O., l'expert en l'occurrence étant l'enseignant-pédagogue. L'E.A.O. pratique une analyse plus ou moins affinée des réponses des apprenants. L'E.I.A.O. ambitionne d'analyser le raisonnement de cet apprenant, de lui montrer d'autres formes de raisonnement ou l'aider à les découvrir [...]

OBS

Le sigle est aussi celui d'un projet de recherche au Laboratoire de recherche informatique d'Orsay (France).

DEF

[The module of an ITS] that deals with the form of the communication, with the presentation.

CONT

... the interface module takes care of [the] final form [of didactic actions]. ... this module processes the flow of communication in and out.

CONT

The interface handles the input and output of the system, and provides continued information on the current state of the problem solving process by showing the current hypothesis set and the goals already achieved. It processes the output of the communication expert..., by transforming it to natural language and system actions... Besides, it gives the student the opportunity to request for reminders of gathered information of the anamnesis or other investigations.

OBS

See student-system interface.
