Improving (Meta)Cognitive Tutoring by Detecting and Responding to Uncertainty

چکیده
We hypothesize that enhancing computer tutors to respond to student uncertainty over and above correctness is one method for increasing both student learning and self-monitoring abilities. We explore this hypothesis using data from an experiment with a wizarded spoken tutorial dialogue system, where tutor responses to uncertain and/or incorrect student answers were manipulated. Our results suggest that monitoring and responding to student uncertainty has the potential to improve both cognitive and metacognitive student abilities.

Towards Improving (Meta)cognition by Adapting to Student Uncertainty in Tutorial Dialogue
We hypothesize that enhancing computer tutors to respond to student uncertainty over and above correctness is one method for increasing both student learning and self-monitoring abilities. We test this hypothesis using spoken data from both wizarded and fully-automated versions of a spoken tutorial dialogue system, where tutor responses to uncertain and/or incorrect student answers were manipul...

متن کاملResponding to Student Uncertainty During Computer Tutoring: An Experimental Evaluation
This paper evaluates dialogue-based student performance in a controlled experiment using versions of a tutoring system with and without automatic adaptation to the student affective state of uncertainty. Our performance metrics include correctness, uncertainty, and learning impasse severities, which are measured in a “test” dialogue after the tutoring treatment. Although these metrics did not s...
