A level of diagnosis concerned with the individual whose behavior and knowledge are of interest to the behavioral and epistemic diagnosis. It supports the view of the student, not only as a recipient of communicable knowledge, but as an agent with an identity of his own, engaged in an active learning process. Collecting information about this agent's individual characteristics can be a productive diagnostic activity. Individual diagnosis remains an area for further research. 1, record 1, English, - individual%20diagnosis

Les principales facettes de ce type de diagnostic sont d’ordre : architectural(simulation de l'état épistémique par l'architecture cognitive du didacticiel), didactique(inclusion d’un modèle d’apprentissage dans le modèle de l'apprenant), stéréotypique(construction d’un profil de l'apprenant au moyen de traits de caractère et de préférences stéréotypiques), motivationnel(inclusion de paramètres tels, niveau d’intérêt, fatigue, etc.), situationnel(interventions extérieures qui peuvent modifier la performance de l'apprenant), intentionnel(attitude et opinions de l'apprenant vis-à-vis de l'interaction pédagogique), autoréférentiel(modèle individuel) et réciproque(modèle du système construit par l'étudiant). 2, record 1, French, - autodiagnostic

Pedagogical activity aiming at collecting and inferring information about the student or his actions. This task often involves the construction of a student model. 1, record 2, English, - diagnosis

Etymologically, the word simply means "to know thoroughly" but is perhaps better understood here as "to know sufficiently" given the pragmatic and necessarily approximate nature of the task. 1, record 2, English, - diagnosis
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In essence, diagnosis can be viewed as a process of reasoning about reasoning and about learning. As a pure modeling activity, it reconstructs knowledge states responsible for observable behaviour by a reversal of the individual model that has processed knowledge into actions. 1, record 2, English, - diagnosis

In pedagogical diagnosis, the search spaces representing the possible student models are frequently very large - increasingly so as models become more sophisticated. 1, record 2, English, - diagnosis

Diagnosis at the epistemic level. It distinguishes three phases in the inference of a knowledge state: direct assignment of credit and blame (determining which knowledge elements have been directly involved in the available account of behavior), structural consistency (broadcasting of repercussions of this direct recognition on the rest of the knowledge state), and longitudinal consistency (updating of the existing student model according to new information). 1, record 3, English, - epistemic%20diagnosis

Le comportement inféré lors du diagnostic inférentiel peut servir de point de départ dans le diagnostique épistémique des données sur le comportement et l'attribution directe du crédit ou du blâme. Ce sont le traçage de modèles, la reconstruction procédurale ou non procédurale, et la reconnaissance d’objectifs pédagogiques en tant qu'éléments du curriculum. 1, record 3, French, - diagnostic%20%C3%A9pist%C3%A9mique
