It has been argued whether Piagetian abilities such as conservation should be used to determine student readiness to learn certain mathematical concepts [Weaver, 1972]. However, there is evidence for the success of manipulatives in the early grades [Suydam and Higgins, 2

متن کاملA Suggested Generic Intelligent Tutoring Framework
This paper presents an intelligent tutoring framework that can be effectively utilized to assist teaching courses and therefore to achieve pedagogical goals. The courses generated using the framework are adaptive, i.e., they adjust their behavior to overcome the individual differences among students. The architecture of the framework provides three modules for an administrator, an instructor an...
