English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
  • Software
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 Most recently, "ICAI" has often been replaced by the acronym "ITS," for "Intelligent Tutoring Systems"....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

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Éducation permanente

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).

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

An information-processing or knowledge-communication system designed for educational purposes. One of the earliest taxonomies of such systems (Hartley and Sleeman 1973) distinguishes four classes: conventional CAI or prestructured systems (called AFO, ad hoc frame-oriented systems by Carbonell in 1970); generative systems programmed to generate simple tasks by piecing problems (intermediate between conventional and intelligent systems); adaptive systems (such as the INTEGRATION tutor, whose domain expertise can be modified or adapted to student needs and characteristics); and self-improving (evolutive, truly intelligent) systems able to improve their teaching strategies and refine their knowledge by evaluating their own performance (e.g. the QUADRATIC tutor) [According to source WAITS 1987]

CONT

Unlike the visions of how learning will be enhanced by computer-based instructors, whether tutors or microworlds, we have a very different view of the role of Logo.

CONT

Two ... aims may be identified in the application of artificial intelligence to education: first, to improve the quality of computer-based teaching systems, thus giving rise to intelligent tutoring systems; second, to provide suitable computational environments to support learning.
