چکیده

We annotated and analyzed Worked Out Examples (WOEs) in a corpus of tutoring dialogues on Computer Science data structures. We found that some dialogue moves that occur within WOEs, or sequences thereof, correlate with learning. Features of WOEs such as length also correlate with learning for some data structures. These results will be used to augment the tutorial tactics available to iList, an ITS that helps student learn linked lists.

Student Behavior with Worked-out Examples in a Computer Science Intelligent Tutoring System

The computing industry is currently facing a huge deficit in talent entering the industry. Even though enrollment in Computer Science (CS) degrees is climbing, many students drop out due to hurdles in grasping fundamental concepts. ChiQat-Tutor, our new CS Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) helps students overcome difficulties by teaching CS concepts such as data structures. Content aside, an im...

Scaffolding Problem Solving with Annotated, Worked-Out Examples to Promote Deep Learning

This study seeks to compare the relative utility for learning college-level physics of intelligent tutoring systems that have procedural based hints and worked-out examples. In order to test which produced better gains, a modified version of Andes was used in which participants either received hints or annotated, worked-out examples in response to their help requests. We found that providing an...

Data-Driven Worked Examples Improve Retention and Completion in a Logic Tutor

Research shows that expert-crafted worked examples can have a positive effect on student performance. To investigate the potential for data-driven worked examples to achieve similar results, we generated worked examples for the Deep Thought logic tutor, and conducted an experiment to assess their impact on performance. Students who received data-driven worked examples were much more likely to c...

Measuring Learning Progress via Self-Explanations versus Problem Solving - A Suggestion for Optimizing Adaptation in Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Prior studies have shown that learning by problem solving in an intelligent tutoring system such as the Cognitive Tutor can be even more effective when worked examples are added in comparison to problem solving alone. Introducing selfexplanation prompts additionally improves learning. Furthermore, recent findings indicate that fading out worked examples according to students’ performance during...

Learning from Erroneous Examples

Erroneous examples (ErrEx) that is, worked solutions that include one or more errors that the student is asked to detect, explain, and/or correct have been rarely investigated as a teaching strategy in mathematics. On the contrary, correct worked examples have been the focus of research on mathematics and science problem solving, e.g. (4). Yet, the scarce work on ErrEx in mathematics has provid...
