Supporting Interaction Preferences and Recognition of Misconceptions with Independent Open Learner Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Misconceptions have been identified in many subjects. However, there has been less investigation into students' interest in their misconceptions. This paper presents two independent open learner models used alongside seven university courses to highlight the state of their knowledge to the learner as a starting point for their independent study. Many students used the environments; many had misconceptions identified at some point during their learning; and most of those with misconceptions viewed the statements of their misconceptions. Students were able to use the independent open learner models in a variety of ways to suit their interaction preferences, at different levels of study.

An example is presented for a university course, with the learner model built from the main activities undertaken during the course. Use of the Next-TELL open learner model over a five week period is described for this group of students, suggesting that independent open...
متن کاملOpen Learner Models as Drivers for Metacognitive Processes
Maintaining a model of the learner’s understanding as they interact with an e-learning environment allows adaptation to the learner’s educational needs. An Open Learner Model makes this machine's representation of the learner available to them. Typically, the state of the learner's knowledge is presented in some form, ranging from a simple overall mastery score, to a detailed display of how muc...
متن کاملAn open learner model for trainee pilots
This paper investigates the potential for simple open learner models for highly motivated, independent learners, using the example of trainee pilots. In particular we consider whether such users access their learner model to help them identify their current knowledge level, areas of difficulty and specific misconceptions, to help them plan their immediate learning activities; and whether they f...
متن کاملAlternative Views on Knowledge: Presentation of Open Learner Models
This paper describes a study in which individual learner models were built for students and presented to them with a choice of view. Students found it useful, and not confusing to be shown multiple representations of their knowledge, and individuals exhibited different preferences for which view they favoured. No link was established between these preferences and the students’ learning styles. ...

This paper introduces a domain-independent open learner model with multiple simple views on individual learner model data. Learners can also compare their knowledge level to their peer group, and to instructor expectations for different stages of their course. The aim is to help learners identify their knowledge, difficulties and misconceptions; prompt reflection on their knowledge and learning...
