Refining Tailored Scaffolding for Meta- Cognitive Skills during Analogical Problem Solving
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we discuss lessons learned from an evaluation of the EACoach, an Intelligent Tutoring System that aims to foster meta-cognitive skills during analogical problem solving. The evaluation of the EA-Coach demonstrated that overall, it is effective in its pedagogical approach, but that there are instances where its scaffolding for meta-cognition is too subtle. We discuss implications of this finding in terms of refining the system’s support.

From Example Studying to Problem Solving via Tailored Computer-Based Meta-Cognitive Scaffolding: Hypotheses and Design
We present an intelligent tutoring framework designed to help students acquire problem-solving skills from pedagogical activities involving worked-out example solutions. Because of individual differences in their meta-cognitive skills, there is great variance in how students learn from examples. Our framework takes into account these individual differences and provides tailored support for the ...
متن کاملScaffolding Meta-Cognitive Skills for Effective Analogical Problem Solving via Tailored Example Selection
Although worked-out examples play a key role in cognitive skill acquisition, research demonstrates that students have various levels of meta-cognitive abilities for using examples effectively. The Example Analogy (EA)-Coach is an Intelligent Tutoring System that provides adaptive support to foster meta-cognitive behaviors relevant to a specific type of example-based learning known as analogical...

متن کاملProviding adaptive support for meta-cognitive skills to improve learning
We describe a computational framework designed to provide adaptive support for learning from problem solving activities that make worked-out examples available. This framework targets several meta-cognitive skills required to learn effectively in this type of instructional setting, including explanation-based-learning-ofcorrectness and min-analogy. The generated interventions are based on an as...
متن کاملA Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis to Synthesize the Influence of Contexts of Scaffolding Use on Cognitive Outcomes in STEM Education
Computer-based scaffolding provides temporary support that enables students to participate in and become more proficient at complex skills like problem solving, argumentation, and evaluation. While meta-analyses have addressed between-subject differences on cognitive outcomes resulting from scaffolding, none has addressed within-subject gains. This leaves much quantitative scaffolding literatur...
