In today's society, people constantly face the challenge of acquiring new skills and knowledge. Such learning tasks are easier for those who are able to use available sources of help judiciously and who can accurately assess their own knowledge. The proposed research will test the hypothesis that computer-based interactive learning environments can help people become better at metacognitive skills such as help seeking and self-assessment. Building on successful work in Cognitive Tutors, the project will involve the creation and evaluation of a computer tutor that guides students at the metacognitive level, as they solve problems. The tutor will be equipped with a detailed model of help-seeking skills. A series of controlled experiments will be conducted to evaluate the added value of metacognitive tutoring. The proposed research addresses open questions in the fields of intelligent tutoring systems, cognitive science, and educational psychology. The proposed research will make it clear whether intelligent tutoring systems are suitable vehicles for helping students acquire metacognitive skills. It will produce models of help seeking that are more detailed than those described in the literature and, if successful, will demonstrate instructional methods that improve students' skill in seeking help and self-assessment and thereby their ability to learn.

在当今社会，人们不断面临着获取新技能和知识的挑战。对于那些能够明智地利用现有帮助资源并能够准确评估自己知识的人来说，这样的学习任务更容易。这项拟议中的研究将检验这一假设，即基于计算机的互动学习环境可以帮助人们更好地掌握元认知技能，如寻求帮助和自我评估。在认知导师的成功工作的基础上，该项目将涉及创建和评估一个计算机导师，指导学生在元认知水平，因为他们解决问题。辅导员将配备详细的求助技能模型。一系列的控制实验将进行评估元认知辅导的附加值。拟议的研究解决了智能辅导系统，认知科学和教育心理学领域的开放问题。这项拟议中的研究将明确智能辅导系统是否是帮助学生获得元认知技能的合适工具。它将产生比文献中描述的更详细的求助模式，如果成功，将展示提高学生寻求帮助和自我评估技能的教学方法，从而提高他们的学习能力。
