"One-on-One Tutoring by Humans and Computers "articulates the
CIRCSIM-Tutor project, an attempt to develop a computer tutor that
generates a natural language dialogue with a student. Editors
Martha Evens and Joel Michael present the educational context
within which the project was launched, as well as research into
tutoring, the process of implementation of CIRCSIM-Tutor, and the
results of using CIRCSIM-Tutor in the classroom. The domain of this
project is cardiovascular physiology, specifically targeting
first-year medical students, though the idea is applicable to the
development of intelligent tutoring systems across populations,
disciplines, and domains.
This 5 year-long project was motivated by the belief that students
need assistance in building appropriate mental models of complex
physiological phenomena, as well as practice in expressing these
ideas in their own words to fully develop those models, and
experience in problem-solving to use those models effectively. The
book outlines directions for future research, and includes distinct
features such as:
*detailed studies of human one-on-one tutoring;
*learning outcomes resulting from use of the tutor;
*natural language input parsed and translated into logical form;
and
*natural language output generated using the LFG paradigm.
This volume will appeal to educators who want to improve human
tutoring or use computer tutors in the classroom, and it will
interest computer scientists who want to build those computer
tutors, as well as anyone who believes that language is central to
teaching and learning.
