Measuring Student Engagement in an Intelligent Tutoring System

چکیده
Detection and prevention of off-task student behavior in an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) has gained a significant amount of attention in recent years. Previous work in these areas have shown some success and improvement. However, the research has largely ignored the incorporation of the expert on student behavior in the classroom: the teacher. Our research re-evaluates the subjects of off-task behavior detection and prevention by developing metrics for student engagement in an ITS using teacher observations of student behavior in the classroom. We present an exploratory analysis of such metrics and the data gathered from the teachers. For off-task prevention we developed a visual reporting tool that displays a representation of a student’s activity in an ITS as they progress and gives a valuable immediate report for the instructor.

Tracing Knowledge and Engagement in Parallel in an Intelligent Tutoring System
Two of the major goals in Educational Data Mining are determining students’ state of knowledge and determining whether students are affectively engaged with the task and in positive affective states. These two problems are usually examined separately and multiple methods have been proposed to solve each of them. However, little work has been done on tracing both of these states in parallel and ...

متن کاملEnriching Solution Space for Robustness in an Intelligent Tutoring System
Intelligent tutoring systems assist medical faculty in training and equipping students with the required clinical reasoning skills. Plausible student solutions to a given problem are rejected by tutoring systems as being incorrect, if they do not match a specific solution accepted by the tutoring system. This leads to brittleness in evaluating student solutions. In this paper we describe a comb...
