The Design of Wizard-of-Oz Studies to Support Students’ Learning to Learn Together

چکیده
This paper presents the design of forthcoming wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) studies in the context of the EU-funded Metafora project that is developing a Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) system to scaffold 12 to 16-year-old students in learning to learn together (L2L2). In the Metafora system, students undertake lengthy collaborative challenges interacting in 3 different spaces: a planning tool, a discussion tool and a domain-specific microworld. In the meantime they are encouraged to reflect on the L2L2 process. We outline the difficulties behind the design of intelligent support for such a complex pedagogical scenario and the need for WOZ studies. We then present how we plan to ease the wizard’s role by providing appropriate tools and templates with the main goal of evaluating potential analysis and feedback possibilities.

Learning Chemistry through Collaboration: A Wizard-of-Oz Study of Adaptive Collaboration Support1
Chemistry students often learn to solve problems by applying well-practiced procedures, but such a mechanical approach is likely to hinder conceptual understanding. We have developed a system aimed at promoting conceptual learning in chemistry by having dyads collaborate on problems in a virtual laboratory (VLab), assisted by a collaboration script. We conducted a small study to compare an adap...

We are in the early stages of developing a spoken language interface that will help beginners write programs. Our goal is a system in which a student will talk to a computer using English sentences, in response to which the computer will generate syntactically correct Java source code. We believe that such a system would help beginning students by allowing them to focus on concepts instead of s...

The Wizard of Oz (WOZ) method has been used in natural language processing area especially for evaluating and getting corpus for dialogue design. Furthermore in reference [7], this method was used to formalize the assumptions about what could be implemented in the interface agent system. The unique feature of applying WOZ is simulating human-computer interaction as distinct from human-human int...

One of the critical factors contributing to the effectiveness of human tutoring is the conversational aspect of the instruction. Our goal is to develop a general model for supporting dialogues with menu-based input that could be used in both welland ill-defined instructional tasks. We have previously studied how human tutors provide additional support to students learning with an existing intel...
متن کاملUsing an Adaptive Collaboration Script to Promote Conceptual Chemistry Learning
Chemistry students often learn to solve problems algorithmically, applying well-practiced procedures to problems. Such an approach may hinder development of conceptual understanding. We propose to promote conceptual learning by having pairs of students collaborate on problems in a virtual laboratory (VLab), assisted by a computer-mediated collaboration script that guides the students through th...
