Record 2 1998-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

The study of design and purpose in natural phenomena.

CONT

In trying to model the way students build incorrect procedures, it is reasonable to assume initially that they perceive the teleology of the procedures(that is, the goals of its steps), but that erroneous teleological rationalizations lead them to choose forms of the skill that differ from the intended one. A study adopting this perspective would concentrate on the way students "understand" procedures. An interesting issue in this regard is the use of manipulative models such as Dienes blocks or abaci, included in some curricula. These models are intended to impart some semantic understanding of procedure to students, and require an analogical transfer to the target procedure.

Record 3 1997-12-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Software
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
CONT

Articulate facts and strategies that vary from expert knowledge ... (misconceptions and procedural errors).

CONT

If the computer has a tutorial program, the student is asked a question by the computer, the student types in an answer, and then gets an immediate response to the answer. If the answer is correct, the student is routed to more challenging problems; if the answer is incorrect, various computer messages will indicate the flaw in procedure, and the program will bypass more complicated questions until the student shows mastery in that area.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Logiciels
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
DEF

erreur due à un défaut de conception du problème.

CONT

La détection des erreurs, des oublis et autres vices de raisonnement plus importants (que l'on rassemble sous le doux nom de bogues) n'est qu'une partie du problème; [...]

OBS

faille : Point faible, défaut, manque de cohérence dans un raisonnement [...]

Record 4 1994-06-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Education
DEF

...term borrowed from computer programming jargon [which] refers to errors internalized by the student that are explicitly represented in the student model. Bugs are usually procedural or localized errors rather than deep, pervasive misconceptions.

CONT

The programming term "bug" is often used in the literature on intelligent tutoring systems to refer to systematic procedural errors. A tutor can reveal a bug in a procedure by applying the procedure on a problem where it will generate an obviously incorrect... result....

CONT

Tutoring module is composed of four building blocks such as bug identification, bug causality analysis, plan generator and tutoring strategy. Bug identification. The task of this building block is identifying the bugs in the student’s knowledge.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle

CONT

Brown et Burton, les premiers, démontraient l'importance de la recherche des procédures erronées ou "bugs" de l'apprenant [...]. [...] aborder la modélisation de l'élève par des techniques d'Apprentissage Symbolique Automatique [...] permet la découverte de procédures erronées qui n'avaient pas été préalablement envisagées.

Record 6 1990-02-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Education Theory and Methods
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

At the University of Sheffield..., a system called skip branching was developed(Kay and Sime, 1963). Here the learner tackled a fairly large unit of information first(as in the Crowder system), but made a written response(as in the Skinner system). If the response was correct, the learner moved on to the next major unit of information. If the learner was incorrect, he worked through a linear subsequence of small items... until he eventually arrived at the next main item, where this procedure was then repeated.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Théories et méthodes pédagogiques
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
DEF

Méthode (...) consistant à intercaler entre deux items de la chaîne principale [d'un programme linéaire] un sous-programme permettant un apprentissage programmé, piste nécessaire pour franchir la principale difficulté induite par l'item principal précédent sur lequel achopperait un pourcentage relativement important d'élèves, d'étudiants ou de formés.

CONT

La méthode de "dérivation" (Skip branching). Certains chercheurs britanniques proposent de présenter les programmes selon une méthode qui tient à la fois du linéaire et du ramifié. (...) La séquence principale est suivie par l'élève qui répond positivement à toutes les questions. S'il ne trouve pas de réponse à un des éléments, il lui est présenté une séquence secondaire (...) qui lui explique plus en détail l'information initiale. Ce sous-programme ne lui donne pas une information complémentaire (comme dans un programme ramifié), mais abaisse simplement le niveau de complexité de l'information primitive.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence

CONT

The idea of a diagnostic model assumes that, in problems that require procedural skills, mistakes are due to the correct execution of an incorrect procedure, and not to an inability to follow an otherwise correct procedure.
