چکیده
Providing learners with computer generated feedback on their learning process in simulation based discovery environments cannot be based on a detailed model of the leaning process due to the “open” character of discovery learning. This paper describes a method for generating adaptive feedback for discovery learning based on an “opportunistic” learning model that takes the current hypothesis of the learner and the experiments performed to test this hypothesis as input. The method was applied in a simulation based learning environment in the physics domain of collisions. Additionally, the method was compared to an environment in which subjects received pre-defined feedback on their hypotheses, not taking the experimentation behavior into account. Results showed that overall both groups did not differ on knowledge acquired. A further analysis indicated that in their learning processes the learners in the experimental condition built upon their intuitive knowledge base whereas, the learners in the control condition built upon their conceptual knowledge base. In addition, measures of the learning process showed that the subjects in the experimental condition adopted a more inquiry based learning strategy compared to the subjects in the control condition. We concluded, therefore, that the providing learners with adaptive feedback had a different and beneficial effect on the learning process compared to more traditional pre-defined feedback. ha l-0 01 97 35 9, v er si on 1 14 D ec 2 00 7 Promoting Self Directed Learning 3

متن کاملP10: Self-Directed Learning
Developing and promoting self-directed learning, as an one of the goals in higher education is important because it expected from students to reach the high level of individual capabilities, and able to identify their training needs in order to fix it and evaluate their own learning, without being in a special education system. Conclusion: The literature review showed that self-directed learnin...
