Record 3 2004-07-27

English

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

A collection of facts stored and retrieved as a single unit. The limitations of working memory are usually defined in terms of the number of chunks that can be handled simultaneously.

CONT

Memory consists of clusters of symbols called "chunks". A chunk is a symbol associated with a set of patterns or stimuli, chunks are hierarchized collections of still smaller chunks. In this conception, memory is a vast network of chunks. Learning and remembering occur as linkages between chunks are established and revised.

CONT

... chunks relate patterns of goal parameters to patterns of goal results. Each chunk improves the performance of the system by eliminating the need to process fully a specific instance.

CONT

The operators used by MATHPERT have been carefully chosen so as to correspond to cognitive skills, that is, to identifiable "chunks" of knowledge which can be taught and learned.

Key term(s)

  • content nugget

DEF

En compilation de connaissances, unité de savoir obtenue soit par composition de primitives soit par décomposition du domaine d'expertise à divers niveaux d'abstraction, de mémorisation ou de communication. Ces unités sont plus ou moins autonomes, non définitives et sujettes à révision.

CONT

En fonction des besoins, le moteur d'inférence va puiser dans la base de connaissances des fragments de savoir pour les assembler logiquement et produire un raisonnement original pour chaque nouveau problème posé.

CONT

La caractéristique essentielle de la méthodologie des systèmes experts c'est de tenter de reproduire les facultés de décision ou de jugement des experts humains en prenant acte que, faute d'algorithmes complets parfaitement structurés, les experts sont capables de fournir des granules d'algorithmes (ou des granules de connaissances), spécifiques d'un domaine d'application, plus ou moins indépendants les uns des autres, non définitifs et donc susceptibles de révision.

CONT

conglomérat de faits, granule de connaissances, granule de règles.

OBS

Partie d'une résolution de problème ou d'un raisonnement qu'on va réutiliser.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

SMITHTOWN (Shute an Glaser, 1986; Shute and Bonar, 1986) is a system for teaching economics, which combines a microworld for exploratory learning with a (bite-sized tutoring module.) The student is presented with a simulated town; she can vary parameters such as the supply or the price of certain goods to study the modifications induced in other parameters. Figure 7.11 shows a snapshot of SMITHTOWN's "notebook" facility, which allows the student to record her experiments. The system implements two simultaneous pedagogical intentions: teaching principles of economics and teaching general investigative behaviors. Bites at the economics level monitor which laws the student is discovering, supplying the name of the new concept when she makes a relevant hypothesis. If the student flounders excessively, the system can become more directive and suggest experiments according to a curriculum that organizes the (domain bites). Bites for investigative behaviors monitor various skills of scientific inquiry such as the ability to collect and record data in a systematic way. At this level, the system acts as a coach, but it does not address inquiry skills directly, since these bites constitute a sort of (metacurriculum).
