متن کاملProcedural Help in Andes: Generating Hints Using a Bayesian Network Student Model
One of the most important problems for an intelligent tutoring system is deciding how to respond when a student asks for help. Responding cooperatively requires an understanding of both what solution path the student is pursuing, and the student’s current level of domain knowledge. Andes, an intelligent tutoring system for Newtonian physics, refers to a probabilistic student model to make decis...
متن کاملAdaptive Model for Agent-Based Intelligent Tutoring Systems
The purpose of this article is to build a model of interaction between the learner and the teacher, where the teacher performs the role of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). If a teacher in the learning process is replaced with a computer system, it should be equipped with a system to adapt to the learner’s cognitive state. We studied factors that influence the learner’s perception of the in...
