It has been shown that merely answering questions facilitates learning. However, generating pedagogically effective questions is challenging. Although there have been studies on automated question generation, the primary research concern thus far is about if and how those question generation techniques can generate answerable questions and their anticipated effectiveness. We propose Quadl, a pragmatic method for generating questions that are aligned with specific learning objectives. We applied Quadl to an existing online course and conducted an evaluation study with in-service instructors. The results showed that questions generated by Quadl were evaluated as on-par with human-generated questions in terms of their relevance to the learning objectives. The instructors also expressed that they would be equally likely to adapt Quadl-generated questions to their course as they would human-generated questions. The results further showed that Quadl-generated questions were better than those generated by a state-of-the-art question generation model that generates questions without taking learning objectives into account.}, author={Shimmei, Machi and Bier, Norman and Matsuda, Noboru}, year={2023} } @inbook{shahriar_matsuda_2023, title={What and How You Explain Matters: Inquisitive Teachable Agent Scaffolds Knowledge-Building for Tutor Learning}, url={https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-36272-9_11}, DOI={10.1007/978-3-031-36272-9_11}, abstractNote={Students learn by teaching a teachable agent, a phenomenon called tutor learning. Literature suggests that tutor learning happens when students (who tutor the teachable agent) actively reflect on their knowledge when responding to the teachable agent's inquiries (aka knowledge-building). However, most students often lean towards delivering what they already know instead of reflecting on their knowledge (aka knowledge-telling). The knowledge-telling behavior weakens the effect of tutor learning. We hypothesize that the teachable agent can help students commit to knowledge-building by being inquisitive and asking follow-up inquiries when students engage in knowledge-telling. Despite the known benefits of knowledge-building, no prior work has operationalized the identification of knowledge-building and knowledge-telling features from students' responses to teachable agent's inquiries and governed them toward knowledge-building. We propose a Constructive Tutee Inquiry that aims to provide follow-up inquiries to guide students toward knowledge-building when they commit to a knowledge-telling response. Results from an evaluation study show that students who were treated by Constructive Tutee Inquiry not only outperformed those who were not treated but also learned to engage in knowledge-building without the aid of follow-up inquiries over time.}, author={Shahriar, Tasmia and Matsuda, Noboru}, year={2023} } @book{rodrigo_matsuda_cristea_dimitrova_2022, place={Cham, Switzerland}, series={Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, title={Artificial Intelligence in Education.

This paper aims to formalize the deep tutee questions and proposes a generalized model of inquiry-based dialogue, called the constructive tutee inquiry, to ask follow-up questions to have tutors reflect their current knowledge (aka knowledge-building activity).

To fill this gap, we propose QUADL, a method for generating questions that are aligned with a given learning objective. The learning objective reflects the skill or concept that students need to learn. The QUADL method first identifies a key concept, if any, in a given sentence that has a strong connection with the given learning objective. It then converts the given sentence into a question for which the predicted key concept becomes the answer.

However, it is hard to know how each instructional element on the courseware contributes to students’ learning. To address this challenge, an evidence-based learning-engineering method for validating the quality of instructional elements on online courseware is proposed. Students’ learning trajectories on particular online courseware and their final learning outcomes are consolidated into a state transition graph. The value iteration technique is applied to compute the worst actions taken (a converse policy) to yield the least successful learning. We hypothesize that the converse policy reflects the quality of instructional elements.

Two randomized-controlled trials with 46 and 141 6th through 8th grade students were conducted in 3 public schools in two different years. Students in the learning by teaching (LBT) condition used an online learning environment (APLUS), where they interactively taught a teachable agent (SimStudent) how to solve equations with a goal to have the teachable agent pass the quiz. Students in the learning by being tutored condition used a version of cognitive tutor that uses the same user interface as APLUS, but no teachable agent. Instead, a teacher agent tutored students how to solve equations. The goal for students in this condition was to pass the quiz by themselves. Students selected and entered problems to be tutored by themselves. This condition is hence called Goal-Oriented Practice (GOP). For both conditions, students received metacognitive scaffolding on how to teach the teachable agent (LBT) and how to regulate their learning (GOP). The results from the classroom studies show that (1) students in both conditions learned equally well, measured as pre- and post-test scores, (2) prior competency does not influence the effect of LBT nor GOP (i.e., no aptitude-treatment interaction observed), and (3) GOP students primarily focused on submitting the quiz rather than practicing on problems.

In this work, we investigated the feasibility of utilizing three educational design patterns as a teaching tool for math preservice teacher education: Feedback Sandwich, Pitfall Diagnosis and Prevention, and Worked Examples. Specifically, we used design patterns to investigate how preservice teachers provided feedback to students who gave common wrong answers to a given math problem and compared their feedback before and after they were introduced to educational design patterns. Results indicated that design patterns helped preservice teachers consider other aspects of feedback such as students' self-regard, common misconceptions, and prior knowledge into their feedback for common wrong answers on math problems. The limited set of three design patterns introduced in the study focused on feedback presentation. Results also indicated preservice teachers may benefit from design patterns that address other aspects of feedback such as content granularity, feedback length, and presentation medium.

However, constructing such a learning agent currently requires manual encoding of prior domain knowledge; in addition to being a poor model of human acquisition of prior knowledge, manual knowledge-encoding is both time-consuming and error-prone. Previous research has shown that one of the key factors that differentiates experts and novices is their different representations of knowledge. Experts view the world in terms of deep functional features, while novices view it in terms of shallow perceptual features. Moreover, since the performance of learning algorithms is sensitive to representation, the deep features are also important in achieving effective machine learning. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm that acquires representation knowledge in the form of "deep features", and demonstrate its effectiveness in the domain of algebra as well as synthetic domains. We integrate this algorithm into a machine-learning agent, SimStudent, which learns procedural knowledge by observing a tutor solve sample problems, and by getting feedback while actively solving problems on its own. We show that learning "deep features" reduces the requirements for knowledge engineering. Moreover, we propose an approach that automatically discovers student models using the extended SimStudent. By fitting the discovered model to real student learning curve data, we show that it is a better student model than human-generated models, and demonstrate how the discovered model may be used to improve a tutoring system's instructional strategy.}, journal={Artificial Intelligence}, author={Li, N. and Matsuda, N. and Cohen, W.W. and Koedinger, K.R.}, year={2015}, pages={67–91} } @book{matsuda_griger_barbalios_stylianides_cohen_koedinger_2014, title={Investigating the effect of meta-cognitive scaffolding for learning by teaching}, volume={8474 LNCS}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84958535516&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1007/978-3-319-07221-0_13}, abstractNote={This paper investigates the effect of meta-cognitive help in the context of learning by teaching.

Integrated into an existing suite of software tools called Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools (CTAT), SimStudent helps authors to create an expert model for a cognitive tutor by tutoring SimStudent on how to solve problems. There are two different ways to author an expert model with SimStudent. In the context of Authoring by Tutoring, the author interactively tutors SimStudent by posing problems to SimStudent, providing feedback on the steps performed by SimStudent, and also demonstrating steps as a response to SimStudent's hint requests when SimStudent cannot perform steps correctly. In the context of Authoring by Demonstration, the author demonstrates solution steps, and SimStudent attempts to induce underlying domain principles by generalizing those worked-out examples. We conducted evaluation studies to investigate which authoring strategy better facilitates authoring and found two key results. First, the expert model generated with Authoring by Tutoring is better and has higher accuracy while maintaining the same level of completeness than the one generated with Authoring by Demonstration. The reason for this better accuracy is that the expert model generated by tutoring benefits from negative feedback provided for SimStudent's incorrect production applications. Second, authoring by Tutoring requires less time than Authoring by Demonstration. This enhanced authoring efficiency is partially because (a) when Authoring by Demonstration, the author needs to test the quality of the expert model, whereas the formative assessment of the expert model is done naturally by observing SimStudent's performance when Authoring by Tutoring, and (b) the number of steps that need to be demonstrated during tutoring decreases as learning progresses.}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education}, author={Matsuda, N. and Cohen, W.W. and Koedinger, K.R.}, year={2015}, pages={1–34} } @article{matsuda_yarzebinski_keiser_raizada_cohen_stylianides_koedinger_2013, title={Cognitive anatomy of tutor learning: Lessons learned with SimStudent.}, volume={105}, ISSN={1939-2176 0022-0663}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0031955}, DOI={10.1037/a0031955}, abstractNote={This article describes an advanced learning technology used to investigate hypotheses about learning by teaching. The proposed technology is an instance of a teachable agent, called SimStudent, that learns skills (e.g., for solving linear equations) from examples and from feedback on performance. SimStudent has been integrated into an online, gamelike environment in which students act as “tutors” and can interactively teach SimStudent by providing it with examples and feedback. We conducted 3 classroom “in vivo” studies to better understand how and when students learn (or fail to learn) by teaching. One of the strengths of interactive technologies is their ability to collect detailed process data on the nature and timing of student activities. The primary purpose of this article is to provide an in-depth analysis across 3 studies to understand the underlying cognitive and social factors that contribute to tutor learning by making connections between outcome and process data. The results show several key cognitive and social factors that are correlated with tutor learning. The accuracy of students’ responses (i.e., feedback and hints), the quality of students’ explanations during tutoring, and the appropriateness of tutoring strategy (i.e., problem selection) all positively affected SimStudent’s learning, which further positively affected students’ learning.

They defined four levels which are the real level, equivalence level, analogy level, and formal level and discussed the order among the levels. In this study, the inference engine is built into the expert module of ITS and the system model to support the concept formation is considered, which contains the intellectual function corresponding to the analogy level.As a domain to handle a realistic problem, a simple transformation of a geometrical figure is considered and the following functions are realized: (1) construction of analogical reasoning engine in the transformation of geometrical figures, (2) construction of the student model which represents the student's analogical reasoning process, and (3) generation of problems based on the student model.}, number={3}, journal={Electronics and Communications in Japan (Part III: Fundamental Electronic Science)}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Okamoto, Toshio and Morihiro, Koichiro and Matsuda, Noboru and Takuma, Shimpei}, year={1994}, pages={75–86} } @article{okamoto_matsuda_yasuda_1994, title={Study of CAI with algorithm diagnosis system for novice C programmers}, volume={11}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Japan Society for CAI}, author={Okamoto, T. and Matsuda, N. and Yasuda, K.}, year={1994}, pages={63–74} } @inbook{matsuda_1993, place={Tokyo}, title={Computer networking}, booktitle={Introduction to Information Education for Teachers: Cases in High-School Education}, publisher={Personal Media}, author={Matsuda, N.}, editor={Okamoto, T.Editor}, year={1993}, pages={180–197} } @article{matsuda_nagashima_okamoto_takuma_1993, title={On the system of learning and diagnosis for fostering space concept}, volume={10}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Japan Society for CAI}, author={Matsuda, N. and Nagashima, S. and Okamoto, T. and Takuma, S.}, year={1993}, pages={114–121} } @article{matsuda_okamoto_1993, title={Student modeling for procedural problem solving}, volume={E77-D}, number={1}, journal={IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems}, author={Matsuda, N. and Okamoto, T.}, year={1993}, pages={49–56} } @inbook{matsuda_1992, place={Tokyo, Japan}, title={Foundations of Computers}, booktitle={Introduction to Information Education for Teachers: Cases in Middle-School Education}, publisher={Personal Media}, author={Matsuda, N.}, editor={Okamoto, T.Editor}, year={1992}, pages={88–119} } @article{matsuda_okamoto_1992, title={Mental model of the process of composing geometric proofs using an intelligent tutoring system}, volume={15}, number={4}, journal={Japan Journal of Educational Technology}, author={Matsuda, N. and Okamoto, T.}, year={1992}, pages={167–182} } @article{okamoto_matsuda_1992, title={Overview on the studies of intelligent CAIs/ITSs in Japan}, volume={15}, number={1-2}, journal={Educational Technology Research}, author={Okamoto, T. and Matsuda, N.}, year={1992}, pages={1–8} } @article{matsuda_okamoto_1992, title={Student model and its recognition by hypothesis-based reasoning in ITS}, volume={75}, ISSN={1042-0967 1520-6440}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecjc.4430750807}, DOI={10.1002/ecjc.4430750807}, abstractNote={AbstractThis paper describes a framework to infer a student's misconception from observed errors during problem‐solving processes. A human teacher can generate hypotheses about reasons for an error by observing a student's problem‐solving process. The teacher is also able to identify a student's misconception during the process of verifying these hypotheses. Furthermore, by using these hypotheses, the teacher can generate new tasks to evaluate the student's understanding level. In this way, appropriate instructions based on the student's knowledge structure can be provided.To accomplish such a behavior within an intelligent tutoring system (ITS), the authors have defined a domain model and applied hypothesis‐based reasoning to diagnose the student model. When the system finds an error in a student's problem‐solving process, it attempts to generate hypotheses which explain that error in terms of the domain model.}, number={8}, journal={Electronics and Communications in Japan (Part III: Fundamental Electronic Science)}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Matsuda, Noboru and Okamoto, Toshio}, year={1992}, pages={85–95} } @article{okamoto_matsuda_takuma_1991, title={A knowledge based CAD to support students’ learning elementary geometric concepts and diagnosing their misconceptions}, volume={14}, number={4}, journal={Japan Journal of Educational Technology}, author={Okamoto, T. and Matsuda, N. and Takuma, S.}, year={1991}, pages={147–157} } @article{matsuda_okamoto_1990, title={An automatic generation of knowledge-base for an intelligent CAI on geometry theorem proving and a GUI to draw geometric figures}, volume={J73-D-II}, number={1}, journal={Transactions of the Institution of Electronics, Information, and Communication Engineering}, author={Matsuda, N. and Okamoto, T.}, year={1990}, pages={88–99} } @inbook{matsuda_hatano_1990, place={Tokyo, Japan}, title={Knowledge communication}, booktitle={Artificial Intelligence and Tutoring Systems}, publisher={Ohmu Inc}, author={Matsuda, N. and Hatano, Kazuhiko}, editor={Okamoto, T. and Mizoguchi, RiichiroEditors}, year={1990}, pages={447–456} } @inbook{matsuda_1990, place={Tokyo, Japan}, title={What is CAI?}, booktitle={Introduction to C Programming}, publisher={Personal Media}, author={Matsuda, N.}, editor={Okamoto, T.Editor}, year={1990}, pages={201–236} } @article{okamoto_matsuda_1989, title={Learning to recognize students’ plan in geometry proof using intelligent CAI}, volume={30}, number={8}, journal={Transactions of Information Processing Society of Japan}, author={Okamoto, T. and Matsuda, N.}, year={1989}, pages={1046–1057} } @article{okamoto_matsuda_1988, title={An intelligent CAI for geometry proof}, volume={29}, number={3}, journal={Transactions of Information Processing Society of Japan}, author={Okamoto, T. and Matsuda, N.}, year={1988}, pages={311–324} } @inbook{matsuda_1988, place={Tokyo, Japan}, title={Drill, Practice, and Machine Learning}, booktitle={Computer environments for children}, publisher={Personal Media}, author={Matsuda, N.}, editor={Okamoto, T. and Akahori, Kanji and Yokoyama, SetsuoEditors}, year={1988}, pages={21–40} }
