In this chapter we aim to establish a set of requirements for the design and implementation of models for sustaining dialogue in Intelligent Tutoring Systems, which incorporate mechanisms for negotiating cooperative teaching and learning goals. Our discussion is centred around a first prototype computational model called "KANT"`(Kritical Argument Negotiated Tutoring system), which incorporates ...
