DIAGNOSTIC INFERENTIEL [6 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

... purely inferential diagnosis, which excludes the student, is a very difficult task.

OBS

See inferential capability, inferential behavior, inferential efficiency.

OBS

Contrast with interactive diagnosis.

Record 2 2005-05-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Training of Personnel
  • Education Theory and Methods
  • Internet and Telematics
DEF

An overt diagnostic action, whereby the system can test its hypotheses. Distinct from interactive diagnosis, whereby the student is invited to report (self-report) on his decisions and knowledge.

CONT

Active diagnosis has the advantage of being one type of extension to diagnostic communication channels that does not require additional interpretive machinery in the form of extended models.

OBS

Applies to systems that are able to take overt diagnostic actions when they have determined that further data is required for discriminating between the competing models that remain.

Record 3 2004-07-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Education Theory and Methods
  • Training of Personnel
DEF

Diagnostic activities that can be performed at the behavioral level. Some ITS deal only with observable behavior, other infer aspects of unobservable behavior.

OBS

Wenger's taxonomy of behavioral diagnostic processes distinguishes between non-inferential ones, based on a powerful representation of knowledge correctness and on evaluating and characterizing errors (interactive diagnosis), and inferential diagnosis that reconstructs unobservable student behavior by interpreting student's responses and matching them against knowledge standards. The inference of unobservable behavior is centered on problem solving processes and requires modeling capabilities such as a theory of bugs.

OBS

Le diagnostic du comportement peut être interactif(le système fournit directement à l'étudiant des informations sur son comportement sans recourir à des inférences ou à des modèles, mais se basant sur une description «correcte» des connaissances sous la forme de plans annotés, de parseurs augmentés, ou d’algorithmes définis. Dans certains systèmes, le diagnostic comportemental est inférentiel en ce sens qu'il infère des comportements implicites, inaperçus en les reconstruisant et en les interprétant à partir des réponses de l'étudiant.

Record 4 1994-10-20

English

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

Pedagogical activity aiming at collecting and inferring information about the student or his actions. This task often involves the construction of a student model.

OBS

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.

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.

CONT

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

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Éducation permanente
DEF

Activité d’un tutoriel visant à reconnaître et à interpréter les actions de l'étudiant. L'on distingue le diagnostic comportemental et le diagnostic épistémique, le diagnostic interactif et le diagnostic inférentiel, le diagnostic intentionnel, le diagnostic piloté par modèles et le diagnostic heuristique.

Record 5 1989-09-18

English

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

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).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Éducation permanente
OBS

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.
