The student becomes the master: integrating peer tutoring with cognitive tutoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Combining peer tutoring with an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) holds the promise of augmenting the current benefits of the ITS. We designed and implemented a peer tutoring approach as an addition to the Cognitive Tutor Algebra (CTA), an ITS for high school algebra. We then used 30 students to evaluate the potential of the peer tutoring addition to increase learning. Although students learned and interacted positively, peer tutors lacked the necessary expertise to adequately help their tutees.

متن کاملWho Says Three's a Crowd? Using a Cognitive Tutor to Support Peer Tutoring
Adding student collaboration to an intelligent tutoring system could leverage the benefits of both approaches. We have incorporated a mutual peer tutoring script, where students of similar abilities take turns tutoring each other, into the Cognitive Tutor Algebra. In this paper, we identify three design principles for peer tutoring, and discuss how they were realized in our peer tutoring script...
متن کاملMutual Peer Tutoring: A Collaborative Addition to the Cognitive Tutor Algebra-1
Although the Cognitive Tutor: Algebra-1 is effective at increasing individual learning, it lacks support for collaboration between students. We intend to explore the potential benefits of integrating a mutual peer tutoring script with the cognitive tutors, such that students take turns tutoring each other on problem-solving tasks, rather than being tutored directly by the computer. The script i...
متن کاملAutomated Adaptive Support for Peer Tutoring
Collaborative activities have been shown to be beneficial, provided that students exhibit certain positive behaviors. Unfortunately, these behaviors rarely occur spontaneously. Adaptive collaborative learning support (ACLS), where an intelligent system assesses student collaboration as it occurs and provides assistance when necessary, is a promising area of research that can help scaffold stude...
