Student modeling approaches predominantly focus on modeling student knowledge. For effective learning, however, it is necessary to teach students how to learn, as well as to provide support for learning domain knowledge. Recently, a number of projects focused on students’ learning strategies, and initiated work on modeling students’ metacognitive skills, such as self-explanation and reflection....

though privileges ascribed to various facets of language learning strategy training have long been espoused with regard to varied language skills and components, the role some individual variables such as emotional intelligence might play in this respect seems to have received very scant attention. the researchers in the current study embarked on a probe into the impact of metacognitive strateg...

This work surveys the opinions of teachers and other education professionals regarding the potential for Open Learner Models (OLM) in UK schools. We describe the aims of OLM, and of current UK initiatives involving formative assessment and promotion of metacognitive skills. We conclude that UK education professionals appreciate a synergy of these approaches, and that OLMbased systems could be v...

Research in self-regulated learning environments has focused on student motivation, development of metacognitive skills, learning strategies, and individual differences. Equally important is the modeling of domain-specific concepts and the ability for students to learn them under their preferred environment. In this paper, we present a general framework for modeling domain-specific concepts tha...

A model of decision making is proposed that integrates recognitional and metacognitive processes. The metacognitive functions supplement recognitional skills in situations in which events are novel or the meaning of events is unclear for other reasons. Such situations are common in military settings, such as Naval anti-air warfare, where it is often the case that stakes are high, time is short,...

The Metalogue project aims to develop a multi-modal, multi-party dialogue system with metacognitive abilities that will advance our understanding of natural conversational human-machine interaction and dialogue interfaces. This paper introduces the vision for the system and discusses its application in the context of debate skills training where it has the potential to provide learners with a r...

EPA2000 is a program for the assessment of off-line measured metacognitive skills and arithmetical performances in primary school children with mathematical-learning disabilities. The program is designed as a script engine. The concept makes it possible to modify and translate the test into different languages without reprogramming. A user-friendly script editor is built-in, with which all of t...

Novices often lack metacognition and self-regulation skills that are important for effective learning. Betty's Brain, an open-ended computer-based learning environment helps students practice and develop metacognitive strategies as they learn science topics. We extend previous work on sequence mining methods to discover students' frequentlyused behavior patterns from their activity sequences. O...
