Fostering Scientific Reasoning Skills through Interactive Learning Tasks

چکیده
Scientific reasoning is a key skill in academic contexts and may be trained with interactive learning tasks, that require learners to explicitly give reasons for their solution. We provide a general, mathematically motivated algebraic model for reasoning tasks that enables computer-based analysis of answers and feedback generation, especially in the case of tasks that have distinct permissible correct solutions; furthermore we present our ready sample implementation guided by that model.
