A Pedagogical Assistant for Learning Object-Oriented Design: Nagging Students into Self- Reflection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss our design for implementing a computer-based tutor for learning object-oriented design. Traditional ITS techniques do not transfer well to open-ended tasks such as information systems modelling. Some have also argued that such systems take away many tasks, which are important for learners to carry out themselves, like error analysis and self-reflection Furthermore we build on the assistant metaphor as a means to provide a tutor to facilitate learning. We have thus constructed a system that builds on cognitive apprenticeship and uses ITS techniques to encourage the user to reflect and think critically using an assistant metaphor.
