Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) promise improved quality of education at reduced cost: they could provide the benefits of one-on-one tutoring without the personnel cost. However, this potential has not yet been realized. We propose a new paradigm for intelligent tutoring systems, that addresses a fundamental flaw in traditional approaches. The outcome of any teaching intervention is uncertain, and the state of the student's knowledge is uncertain. Our approach explicitly models this uncertainty, providing a more accurate model of the student and enabling the tutoring system to learn fran experience. We will apply this paradigm to medical statistics education. Medical practitioners need a good grasp of statistical concepts to read and critique medical literature, plan and carry out projects involving data collection, understand and practice scientific method in research, and make decisions in the face of uncertainty. However, there is widespread concern that statistics is not being taught effectively to health care professionals. Biostatistics is difficult to teach in a traditional classroom setting and is widely disliked. An ITS, providing one-on-one tutoring, could transform biostatistics education.

智能教学系统（ITS）承诺提高教育质量 以降低成本：他们可以提供一对一辅导的好处， 没有人员成本。 然而，这一潜力尚未得到 实现了 我们提出了一种新的智能辅导系统的范例， 这解决了传统方法中的一个根本缺陷。 成果 任何教学干预都是不确定的，学生的状态 知识不确定。 我们的方法明确地模拟了这种不确定性， 提供更准确的学生模型， 学习法国经验。 我们将把这种模式应用于医学统计学教育。 医疗 从业人员需要很好地掌握统计概念， 评论医学文献，计划和执行涉及数据的项目 在研究中收集、理解和实践科学方法， 面对不确定性做出决定。 然而，普遍存在 关注统计学没有被有效地教授给卫生保健 专业人士 生物统计学很难在传统的 教室环境，并广泛不喜欢。 一个ITS，提供一对一的 辅导，可以改变生物统计学教育。
