An Expert System for the Efficient Assessment of Mathematical Knowledge

摘要9350484这个项目开发了一个用于4到8年级的交互式学生评估计算机系统。这个专家系统根据之前的回答，为每个学生提供一份以日常语言讲授的报告，描述学生目前相对于适当的数学课程的优势和劣势。该报告提出了具体的建议，并提供了带有注释的解决方案遗漏的关键问题的打印输出。每个学生的成绩将作为课堂教师的参考。每个学生课程都在很短的时间内完成。该系统考虑了文化和社会的多样性，并被构建为接受对问题的“开放”回答。该体系要求确定和构建一个“知识空间”，其中包括一系列适当的“知识状态”，并通过同行审查加以修订和完善。开发和初步实施都是在加利福尼亚州奥兰治县的模范学校进行的。***

ABSTRACT 9350484 Falmagne This project develops an interactive student assessment computer system to be used in grades 4 to 8. This expert system, where subsequent questions are based on previous responses, provides a report for each student delivered in everyday language and which describes the student's current strengths and weaknesses relative to the appropriate mathematics curriculum. The report makes specific recommendations and provides a printout of critical question missed with annotated solutions. The results for each student are advisory to the classroom teacher. Each student session is completed in a short amount of time. The system considers cultural and social diversity and is constructed to accept "open" responses to the questions. The system requires the identification and construction of a "knowledge space" which includes a suitable family of "knowledge states," revised and refined through peer review. Both the development and initial implementation take place in exemplary schools in Orange County California. ***
