Determining tutorial remediation strategies from a corpus of human-human tutoring dialogues
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an empirical approach to adaptively selecting a tutoring system’s remediation strategy based on an annotated corpus of human-human tutorial dialogues. We are interested in the remediation selection problem, that of generating the best remediation strategy given a diagnosis for an incorrect answer and the current problem solving context. By comparing the use of individual remediation strategies to their success in varying contexts, we can empirically extract and implement tutoring rules for the content planner of an intelligent tutoring system. We describe a methodology for analyzing a tutoring corpus and using the resulting data to inform a content planning model.

The Role of Why Questions in Effective Human Tutoring
It is undoubtedly true that one prominent component of effective human tutoring is collaborative dialogue between student and tutor [7, 12]. Nevertheless, many important questions remain to be answered about which features of human tutorial dialogue make it effective and how the most effective human tutoring strategies can be implemented in a tutorial dialogue system. In this paper we present a...
متن کاملRunning head: OBSERVING TUTORIAL DIALOGUES Observing Tutorial Dialogues Collaboratively: Insights about Human Tutoring Effectiveness from Vicarious Learning
The goals of this study are to evaluate a relatively novel learning environment, as well as to seek greater understanding of why human tutoring is so effective. This alternative learning environment consists of pairs of students collaboratively observing a videotape of another student being tutored. Comparing this collaboratively observing environment to four other instructional methods – one-o...
متن کاملThe Role of Initiative in Tutorial Dialogue
This work is the first systematic investigation of initiative in human-human tutorial dialogue. We studied initiative management in two dialogue strategies: didactic tutoring and Socratic tutoring. We hypothesized that didactic tutoring would be mostly tutor-initiative while Socratic tutoring would be mixedinitiative, and that more student initiative would lead to more learning (i.e., task succ...
متن کاملAnalyzing Human Tutorial Dialogues for Cohesion and Coherence During Hypermedia Learning of a Complex Science Topic
We analyzed cohesion and coherence of 79 think-aloud transcription logs from a human tutorial dialogue study investigating the effect of tutoring on college students’ learning about the circulatory system with hypermedia. The study involves randomly assigning 82 non-science majors to either the self-regulated learning (SRL, control condition) or the externally-regulated learning (ERL, experimen...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Effectiveness of Tutorial Dialogue with Hidden Markov Models
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 paper addresses that challenge through a machine learning approach that 1) learns tutorial strategies from a corp...
