Revival of Tutor Model: A Domain Independent Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS)

Ever since the birth of ITS (Intelligent Tutoring System) in late 1970’s and early 1980’s, it has live through numerous evolutions. Through this paper we opt to explore and revive the Tutor (Pedagogical) Model of ITS. Pedagogy is referred to as the correct use of teaching strategies. The objective is to emphasize on various abstract pedagogies that can be incorporated into an Intelligent Tutoring Systems irrespective of the knowledge domain being taught. Hence the current research and development is to make sculpt that is used to provide tutoring of almost any knowledge domain. Despite of the outgrowth of technology (Computer) based learning, traditional learning/ teaching is still a dominant and a preferred choice not only by the students but also by the teachers. The reasons being reluctance to give up conventional practice, habit of face-to-face teaching and withhold benefit of one to one tutoring. So instead of trying to take over the traditional pattern, we come up with an ITS that bestow each student with a familiar one-to-one tutoring practice, flexibility to learn almost any knowledge domain using same gadget and to learn using contented pedagogies until he masters and governs that knowledge domain.
