How Do They Do It? Investigating Dialogue Moves within Dialogue Modes in Expert Human Tutoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Expert human tutors are widely considered to be the gold standard for increasing student learning. While not every student has access to an expert tutor, it is possible to model intelligent tutoring systems after expert tutors. In an effort to achieve this goal, we have analyzed a corpus of 50 hours of one-toone expert human tutoring sessions. This corpus was coded for speech acts (dialogue moves) and larger pedagogical strategies (dialogue modes). Using mixed-effects modeling, we found that expert tutors differentially used dialogue moves depending on the dialogue mode. Specifically, tutor posed questions, explanations, and motivational statements were predictive of different dialogue modes (e.g., Lecture, Scaffolding).

Dialogue Modes in Expert Tutoring
Previous studies have examined human-to-human dialogue in expert tutoring on the speech act level, but these analyses fail to provide the context necessary for understanding how a series of speech acts relate to each other. This research examined tutorial dialogue in terms of sustained, pedagogically distinct phases, referred to as tutoring “modes”, which gives context to the finer-grained anal...
متن کاملIdentifying Effective Moves in Tutoring: On the Refinement of Dialogue Act Annotation Schemes
The rich natural language dialogue that is exchanged between tutors and students has inspired many successful lines of research on tutorial dialogue systems. Yet, today’s tutorial dialogue systems do not regularly achieve the same level of student learning gain as has been observed with expert human tutors. Implementing models directly informed by, and even machine-learned from, human-human tut...
متن کاملInvestigating the Relationship Between Dialogue Structure and Tutoring Effectiveness: A Hidden Markov Modeling Approach
Identifying effective tutorial dialogue strategies is a key issue for intelligent tutoring systems research. Human-human tutoring offers a valuable model for identifying effective tutorial strategies, but extracting them is a challenge because of the richness of human dialogue. This article addresses that challenge through a machine learning approach that 1) learns tutorial modes from a corpus ...
متن کاملMining Collaborative Patterns in Tutorial Dialogues
We present a method to automatically detect collaborative patterns of student and tutor dialogue moves. The method identifies significant two-step excitatory transitions between dialogue moves, integrates the transitions into a directed graph representation, and generates and tests data-driven hypotheses from the directed graph. The method was applied to a large corpus of student-tutor dialogue...
متن کاملAutomated Labelling of Dialogue Modes In Tutorial Dialogues
We present in this paper a study whose goal was to automatically label higher level constructs, called dialogue modes, in tutorial dialogues. Each tutorial dialogue is regarded as a sequence of utterances articulated by either the learner or the tutor. The dialogue utterances can be grouped into dialogue modes which correspond to general conversational phases such as dialogue openings, e.g. whe...
