The Impact of Looking Further Ahead: A Comparison of Two Data-driven Unsolicited Hint Types on Performance in an Intelligent Data-driven Logic Tutor

Cody, C., Maniktala, M., Lytle, N., Chi, M., & Barnes, T. (2021, May 21). International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education.

By: C. Cody n, M. Maniktala n, N. Lytle n, M. Chi n & T. Barnes n

author keywords: Tutoring system; Hints; Assistance; Data-driven methods
topics (OpenAlex): Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Adaptive Learning; Visual and Cognitive Learning Processes; Online Learning and Analytics
TL;DR: The influence of data-driven hint type, Waypoints versus Next-Step hints, on student learning in a logic proof tutoring system, Deep Thought, in a discrete mathematics course is investigated to suggest that Waypoint hints could be beneficial, but more scaffolding may be needed to help students follow them.

Cateté, V., Lytle, N., Dong, Y., Boulden, D., Akram, B., Houchins, J., … Boyer, K. (2018, October 3). WIPSCE'18: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 13TH WORKSHOP IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COMPUTING EDUCATION, pp. 109–114.

By: V. Cateté n , N. Lytle n, Y. Dong n, D. Boulden n , B. Akram n, J. Houchins n, T. Barnes n, E. Wiebe n  ...

Contributors: V. Cateté n , N. Lytle n, Y. Dong n, D. Boulden n , B. Akram n, J. Houchins n, T. Barnes n, E. Wiebe n  ...

author keywords: Professional Development; STEM plus C; Computational Thinking
topics (OpenAlex): Teaching and Learning Programming; Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Biomedical Research; Experimental Learning in Engineering
TL;DR: Initial lessons learned while conducting design-based implementation research on integrating computational thinking into middle school science classes are presented and case studies suggest that several factors including teacher engagement, teacher attitudes, student prior experience with CS/CT, and curriculum design can all impact student engagement in integrated science-CT lessons.
