TUTORING SYSTEM [12 records]

Record 1 2024-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Software
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
DEF

... a computer-based instruction system intended to provide effective, appropriate, and flexible instruction through the application of artificial intelligence techniques and knowledge representations.

CONT

An intelligent tutor must be able ... to generate instructional material: to present the subject matter, ask questions of the student, give examples, and give explanations to the student. [It] must be able to answer free-form questions from the student. The tutor must be able to evaluate the student's responses or behavior [and] to diagnose student errors, or "bugs." ... And once the source of the error has been found, the tutor has to figure out the most efficient way to correct the student's misunderstanding. Finally, intelligent tutors must themselves be able to learn.

OBS

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) find their roots in the Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) movement of the 1950s. ... The major advance of ITS, or Intelligent CAI systems, as they are also called, is the use of techniques of knowledge representation pioneered within the Knowledge Engineering community.

OBS

The first three letters of "intelligent tutoring system" are often capitalized. The phrases "computer tutor" or "computer-based tutor" are opposed to "human tutor."

DEF

Système d'enseignement assisté par ordinateur intégrant des techniques d'intelligence artificielle permettant un apprentissage progressif et individualisé.

CONT

Un système EIAO est capable de prendre en compte les paramètres pédagogiques suivants : niveau de l'apprenant, degré de difficulté souhaité, objectif d'enseignement spécifié.

CONT

[...] un tutoriel intelligent doit être capable d'acquérir des connaissances par lui-même, c'est-à-dire d'apprendre. [...] les connaissances d'un tutoriel intelligent se répartissent en quatre ensembles : le modèle du domaine, le modèle d'enseignement-apprentissage, le modèle de l'élève et l'interface gérant le dialogue entre l'élève et l'ordinateur.

OBS

Contrairement aux didacticiels classiques auxquels on peut les comparer, les tutoriels intelligents possèdent des connaissances sur le sujet à enseigner, sur l'élève et sur la pédagogie. Ils adoptent une approche misant sur l'activité de l'étudiant et où le tuteur électronique est avant tout un conseiller.

CONT

... substantial progress is being made toward the intertwined goals of understanding how human tutors function and building a computer-based system that can give intelligent tutorial aid to a student. Existing computer tutors, such as the FLOW tutor system ... are able to perform reasonably, and occasionally brilliantly, in restricted environments.

CONT

Computer-based tutorial systems, such as the FLOW tutor, can be evaluated according to their fidelity as a simulation of a human tutor and their function as a tutor.

CONT

Computer tutors should know what they teach. ... In addition, it is possible that the tutor could use its own knowledge to generate explanations as appropriate, and could understand a student's difficulties by some analysis of the knowledge involved.

DEF

[A system that makes] decisions about how, and in what order, programming concepts should be introduced, and attempts to monitor the student's progress in mastering the new notions.

CONT

...SCHOLAR was a first attempt to develop a tutorial system to teach "the same way human teachers do."

CONT

Work on intelligent tutoring should take its direction from research and theory in psychology, especially cognitive psychology. There is ... a considerable body of knowledge that can be used to guide the construction of tutoring systems....

Subject field(s)
  • Software
  • School Equipment
  • Plane Geometry
CONT

The geometry tutor (Anderson, Boyle, & Yoost, 1985) is built on the same basic design as the Lisp tutor. The student's activity in that case is to construct a geometry proof by successively applying geometric theorems, and the tutor compares his steps to a large knowledge base consisting of both correct and incorrect problem-solving rules. The tutor intervenes when the student applies an incorrect rule, i.e., makes illegal or useless moves in the space of possible inferences.

English

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

An instructional system such as the Quadratic tutor, capable of refining its knowledge by evaluating its own performance and improving its domain knowledge and teaching strategies.

CONT

If the student's approach leads to a better solution than the trace stored in the expert's archive, the system adopts the student's solution as its standard: hence the label of self-improving sometimes given this tutor.

CONT

Although it is not presented as a self-improving system, Self's program contrasts with O'Shea's in that the tutor has access to a formal learning model.

OBS

In Hartley and Sleeman taxonomy of instructional systems, a true ICAI system. Compare to prestructured system, generative system, and adaptive system.

Système EIAO capable d'acquérir, en cours d'utilisation, des informations généralisables à des situations ultérieures. Ces informations produisent une transformation irréversible de l'état initial du système, censée améliorer ses performances pédagogiques.

CONT

PROTO-TEG est un tutoriel évolutif : la connaissance qu'il a acquise a produit une transformation durable du tutoriel.

OBS

Il remplit une ou plusieurs des fonctions suivantes : enrichir le modèle du domaine avec des propositions de l'apprenant lorsqu'elles sont plus courtes que celles des concepteurs (module expert);analyser l'effet des activités proposées à l'élève et en tenir compte lors du choix des stratégies didactiques (modèle pédagogique); mettre à jour la représentation de l'état cognitif de l'apprenant en fonction de l'évolution (modèle de l'apprenant); acquérir des connaissances en vue d'optimiser le dialogue avec l'apprenant (module d'interface).

CONT

Collins' set of tutorial rules was used to construct an experimental Socratic tutoring system for rainfall processes called WHY (Stevens and Collins, 1977). In this system, the domain knowledge is no longer contained in a semantic net, which would not be very fit for the representation of processes. Instead, the knowledge about rainfall is stored in a hierarchy of scripts that represent stereotypical sequences of events. These fixed sequences are to capture both the temporal and the causal relations between events in a way that is easily amenable to inspection. The generation of questions and the evaluation of the student's answers are based on these scripts. The nested nature of the script hierarchy provides an organized view of the knowledge, with more general scripts giving overall sequences of events and more detailed scripts accounting for intermediate causal chains relating these events. The system can exploit this hierarchy to cover the subject starting from a general understanding and moving toward a more and more detailed description of the process.
