Motivational Impacts of a Game-Based Intelligent Tutoring System
نویسندگان
چکیده
iSTART is an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) designed to improve students’ reading comprehension. Previous studies have indicated that iSTART is successful; however, these studies have also indicated that students benefit most from long-term interactions that can become tedious and boring. A new game-based version of the system has been developed, called iSTART-ME (motivationally enhanced). Initial results from a usability study with iSTART-ME indicate that this system increases engagement and decreases boredom over time.

A Comparison of Gains between Educational Games and a Traditional ITS
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) have begun to incorporate game-based components in an attempt to balance the learning benefits of ITSs with the motivational benefits of games. iSTART-ME (Motivationally Enhanced) is a new game-based learning environment that was developed on top of an existing ITS (iSTART). In a multi-session labbased efficacy study with 125 high school students, those stude...
متن کاملA conceptual model for game based intelligent tutoring systems
In order to build intelligent tutoring agents within games-based learning environments, practitioners must understand the three conceptual models used within Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS): the expert or domain model, the student model, and the instructional model. This paper investigates the inter-relationship between these models and how they combine to provide the expected behaviour of i...
متن کاملA Theoretical and Empirical Approach in Assessing Motivational Factors: From Serious Games To an ITS
This study investigates Serious Games (SG) to assess motivational factors appropriate to an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). An ITS can benefit from SG’ elements that can highly support learners’ motivation. Thus, identifying and assessing the effect that these factors may have on learners is a crucial step before attempting to integrate them into an ITS. We designed an experiment using a Ser...
متن کاملTowards an Interoperable Adaptive Tutoring Agent for Simulations and Serious Games
Computer simulations and digital game based learning systems have to adapt to the experience and knowledge level of the users to exploit their intrinsic motivation for interaction and learning. To facilitate the deployment of intelligent tutoring tools they must follow interoperability standards. The solution approach described in this paper is a distributed intelligent tutoring agent framework...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Gaming Behaviors in an Intelligent Tutoring System
We present results from an analysis of students’ shallow behaviors, i.e., gaming, during their interaction with an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). The analysis is based on six college classes using the Andes ITS for homework and test preparation. Our findings show that student features are a better predictor of gaming than problem features, and that individual differences between students im...
