Although the Algebra-1 Cognitive Tutors are effective at increasing individual learning, they lack support for collaboration between students. It is likely that students would show further learning gains if they were able to use the tutors collaboratively. We intend to integrate a mutual peer tutoring script with the cognitive tutors, such that students take turns tutoring each other on problem...

Individuals encounter problems daily wherein varying numbers of constraints require delimitation memory to target goal-satisfying information. Multiply-constrained problems, such as the compound remote associates, are commonly used study this type problem solving. Since their development, multiply-constrained have been theoretically and empirically related creative thinking, analytical solving,...
