ITR/PE(CISE): Tutoring Explanation and Discovery Learning: Achieving Deep Understanding through Tutuorial Dialog

EIA-0113864 Vincent AlevenCarnegie Mellon UniversityITR/PE（CISE）：辅导解释和发现学习：通过对话实现深入理解这个多学科的研究项目将开发新的教学软件，并将在实际课堂上进行评估。 该项目将在计算机科学、教育和认知心理学方面取得研究进展。 在教育方面，该项目将开发和测试新的教学方法，即“讲解级辅导”。 这些方法旨在加深学生的理解，从而更好地记忆（保留）所获得的知识，以及将所学知识应用于不熟悉的问题（迁移）的能力。 在计算机科学方面，该项目将通过纳入自然语言处理技术来评估学生的解释并通过对话进行改进，从而推进智能辅导系统的最新技术。 关于认知心理学，这个项目将创建和测试学生的理解是如何从显式语言和隐式感知学习过程的整合出现的认知模型。

EIA-0113864Vincent AlevenCarnegie Mellon UniversityITR/PE(CISE): Tutoring Explanation and Discovery Learning: Achieving Deep Understanding through Tutorial DialogThis multidisciplinary research project will develop new instructional software, which will be evaluated in actual classrooms. The project will yield research advances in computer science, education, and cognitive psychology. With respect to education, the project will develop and test new methods of instruction, namely, "tutoring at the explanation level". These methods aim to achieve deeper student understanding, resulting in better memory (retention) of the acquired knowledge, as well as the ability to apply what was learned to unfamiliar problems (transfer). With respect to computer science, this project will advance the state-of-the-art in intelligent tutoring systems through the incorporation of natural language processing techniques for assessing student explanations and improving them through dialog. With respect to cognitive psychology, this project will create and test cognitive models of how student understanding emerges from an integration of explicit-verbal and implicit-perceptual learning processes.
