Introductory Reading List
These should be read by everybody. (Having a look at these papers before the kick-off meeting can also help you to decide whether you are interested in the course.)The following are the main questions that will then be discussed in a Seminar. You might need to look in more than one articles to answer them.
- Bloom, B. S. (1984). The 2 sigma problem: The search for methods of group instruction as effective as one-to-one tutoring. Educational Researcher 13:4-16. (PDF)
- What is the argument made in (Bloom, 1984) that’s relevant to ITSs? What is the 2-Sigma problem?
- What does it mean to increase a performance by 2 sigma? What is a standard deviation?
- What was the main source of support for Bloom's argument?
- What is a formative, a parametric, and a summative evaluation?
- What is an aptitude-achievement correlation?
- VanLehn, K. (2006) The behavior of tutoring systems. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education. 16, 3, 227-265. (e-mail George Goguadze at "george {AT} activemath {DOT} org" to obtain this paper)
- What is the purpose of the article?
- What do the following terms mean? Knowledge Component, Learning vs. Physical Event, Tutoring Strategy, Inner vs. Outer Loop, Minimal Feedback vs. Error-Correction Feedback vs. Hints.
- What is the condition under which one can characterise the behaviour of ITSs as consisting of an outer and an inner loop? How do the two relate to each other, what are the responsibilities of each one, and which issues do they involve?
- Describe briefly the following systems:
- Algebra Cognitive Tutors
- Andes
- AutoTutor
- Sherlock
- SQL-Tutor
- Steve
- Corbett, K.R. Koedinger, and J.R. Anderson. Intelligent tutoring systems. In M. Helaner and T.K. Landauer, editors, Handbook of Human-Computer Interaction, Second Edition, pages 849–874. Amsterdam: Elsevier Science, 1997.(PDF)
- How does (Corbett et al, 1997) use the argument from (Bloom, 1984)? Why?
- What is the research goal Corbett and his colleagues suggest and how have they followed it themselves?
- What is the ACT-R Theory?
- How does the analysis of ITSs in (Corbett et al, 1997) compare to the analysis in (VanLehn, 2006)? What is the architecture suggested?
- What is the instructional intervention at the:
- Curriculum level?
- Problem-solving support level?
- What is the feedback like in the SHERLOCK system?
