Computerized educational software holds promise as a supplemental means of providing individualized instruction. The Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) study established the technical basis for proceeding with the Phase II research by demonstrating that it is possible to develop a working game that entails the combination of a well-designed intelligent tutoring system rooted in cognitive psychology with a game format. The objectives of the Phase II research focus on (1) filling in and experimentally testing the Phase I Intelligent Tutoring Game (ITG) framework in order to provide feedback as to the soundness of the teaching concepts upon which the framework of the project is based; and (2) developing and experimentally testing a full-scale ITG for middle school probability and statistics/scientific reasoning in order to assess the soundness of implementing the instructional approach of the project in an ITG format. The project aims to provide the students using the software with the benefits of individualized instruction in a game environment that maintains student interest and enthusiasm. While there exist games that are poor tutors and tutors that are poor games, i.e., they are no fun, the proposed project would fill this gap by developing a research-based framework to develop tutors that excel both from instructional and enjoyment perspectives.

计算机化教育软件有望成为提供个性化教学的补充手段。第一阶段的小企业创新研究（SBIR）研究为第二阶段的研究奠定了技术基础，它证明了开发一种可行的游戏是可能的，这种游戏需要将基于认知心理学的精心设计的智能辅导系统与游戏格式相结合。第二阶段的研究目标主要集中在：(1)填写和实验测试第一阶段的智能辅导游戏（ITG）框架，以反馈项目框架所依据的教学理念的合理性；(2)为中学概率和统计/科学推理开发和实验测试一个完整的ITG，以评估在ITG格式中实施项目教学方法的合理性。该项目旨在为使用该软件的学生提供个性化教学的好处，在游戏环境中保持学生的兴趣和热情。虽然存在糟糕的游戏导师和糟糕的游戏导师，也就是说，它们并不有趣，但提议的项目将通过开发一个基于研究的框架来开发从教学和享受角度来看都很出色的导师，从而填补这一空白。
