Interactive student modeling
Trent Miskelly · 1998
This paper deals with defining an interactive student modeling system (ISMS) that allows for negotiation of the student model between the system and the student. The objective of this system is to develop a more accurate student model by promoting student inspection and modification of the student model. The ISMS is based on the combination of two approaches to student modeling that begin with a basic student model template. First, machine learning techniques will be used to develop and maintain a novice-to-expert learning transition in the student model. Second, methods for externalizing the student model will be used to provide for student-system interaction. The combination of these approaches allows the student to reflect on his learning process through discussion of the student model, helping to form a deeper understanding of his learning process, which ultimately leads to better developed problem solving skills.
