Representation of Analogies Found in Human Tutoring Sessions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the use of analogies in 75 one-on-one tutoring sessions with first-year medical students carried on by two professors of physiology at Rush Medical College. Analogies were not very frequent, but were extremely effective when they were used. We have analyzed the goals, the topics, and the discourse strategies for proposing analogies. We have also studied the ways that the tutors follow up on these analogies and clarify them when necessary, with the goal of implementing analogies in our intelligent tutoring system, CIRCSIMTutor. Our knowledge representation scheme is based on Gentners theory and Forbus MAC/FAC model, which allows for structural mappings between analogies.

What Analogies to Use in an Electronic Tutoring System and When to Use Them
We are building a new version of our intelligent tutoring system, CIRCSIM-Tutor, using Freedman's APE Planner. APE's powerful planning capabilities make it feasible to implement a number of new features. This paper focuses on adding the capability of generating analogies. Once the system can generate analogies it is possible that students will generate them too. Recognizing student analogies is...
متن کاملAutomated Session-Quality Assessment for Human Tutoring Based on Expert Ratings of Tutoring Success
Archived transcripts from tens of millions of online human tutoring sessions potentially contain important knowledge about how online tutors help, or fail to help, students learn. However, without ways of automatically analyzing these large corpora, any knowledge in this data will remain buried. One way to approach this issue is to train an estimator for the learning effectiveness of an online ...

متن کاملArchitects and Engineers Differences: A comparison between problem solving performances of architects and engineers in the ideation phase of an analogy-based design
This study examines how analogy affects problem-solving in ideation phase of design among architects and engineers. For this purpose, a design problem was given to master and Ph.D. students of engineering and architecture. They were given two optional analogy sources to choose and be inspired by one. From the analysis of design sessions, using different coding groups and the application of the ...
متن کاملThe Use of Hints by Human and Computer Tutors: The Consequences of the Tutoring Protocol
Our study of two expert human tutors reveals that, while they employ many tactics, they (virtually) always try hinting to remedy problems. Hints are occasionally mentioned in the Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) literature but there has been no systematic study of this phenomenon. Our ITS, CIRCSIM-Tutor (CST), is designed to assist first year medical students to learn to reason about blood pre...
