Learner Modelling Through Analyzing Cognitive Skills and Learning Styles *1
نویسنده
چکیده
Providing adaptivity in web-based educational systems supports learners in their learning process and makes learning easier for them. However, providing adaptivity requires knowing the needs of the learners. Therefore learner modelling, the process of building and updating a learner model, is a crucial aspect of adaptive systems and necessary for providing course content that fits to the learners’ needs. In this chapter, we discuss recent research focusing on cognitive traits and learning styles. We show approaches by which cognitive traits and learning styles can be identified. In order to get additional data for improving learner modelling, we discuss investigations about the relationship of cognitive traits and learning styles, and the aspects of adaptation resulting from this combination.

متن کاملThe relationship between learning styles and cognitive traits - Getting additional information for improving student modelling
Student modelling is an important process for adaptive virtual learning environments. Student models include a range of information about the learners such as their domain competence, learning style or cognitive traits. To be able to adapt to the learners’ needs in an appropriate way, a reliable student model is necessary, but getting enough information about a learner is quite challenging. The...

Contrary to system-controlled multimedia learning environments, hypermedia systems are characterized by a high level of interactivity. This interactivity is referred to as learner control in the respective literature. For several reasons this learner control is seen as a major advantage of hypermedia for learning and instruction. For instance, learner control might increase students’ interest a...
