Transaction Analysis

ABSTRACT: Prior research demonstrates that students learn more from homework practice when using online homework or intelligent tutoring systems than a paper-and-pencil format. However, no accounting education research directly compares the learning effects of online homework systems with the learning effects of intelligent tutoring systems. This paper presents a quasi-experiment that compares the two systems and finds that students’ transaction analysis performance increased at a significantly faster rate when they used an intelligent tutoring system rather than an online homework system. Implications for accounting instructors and researchers are discussed.

Tutoring Systems

Variation in tutoring strategies plays an important part in intelligent tutoring systems. The potential for providing an adaptive intelligent tutoring system depends on having a range of tutoring strategies to select from. In order to react effectively to the student's needs, an intelligent tutoring system has to be able to choose intelligently among the strategies and determine which strategy is best for an individual student at a particular moment. This paper describes, through the discussion pertaining to the implementation of SONATA, a music theory tutoring system, how an intelligent tutoring system can be developed to support multiple tutoring strategies during the course of interaction. SONATA has been implemented using a hypertext tool, HyperCard II. 1.

Cognitively Diagnostic

Student modeling and cognitively diagnostic assessment are important issues that need to be addressed for the development and successful application of intelligent tutoring systems (its). Its needs the construction of complex models to represent the skills that students are using and their knowledge states, and practitioners want cognitively diagnostic information at a finer grained level. This chapter reviews our effort on modeling student’s knowledge in the ASSISTment project. Intelligent tutors have been mainly used to teach students. In the ASSISTment project, we have emphasized using the intelligent tutoring system as an assessment system that provides instructional assistance during the test. Usually it is believed that assessment get harder if students are allowed to learn during the test, as its then like try to hit a moving target. So our results are surprising that by providing tutoring to students while they are assessed we actually prove the assessment of students’ knowledge. Additionally, in this article, we present encouraging results about a fine-grained skill model with that system that is able to predict state test scores. We conclude that using intelligent tutoring systems to do assessment seems like a reasonable way of dealing with the dilemma that every minute spent testing students takes time away from instruction.

The Way

Intelligent Tutoring Systems have been designed for a variety of purposes. Much of the design effort has been aimed at the actual subject matter. Often ignored has been the critical nature of the interface. If the way people interact with computers is directly related to their personality, then systems should respond differently to different people. This paper describes the design of an interface for an Intelligent Tutoring System that, given the student's personality, will make adjustments in the style of interaction.

Emotionally Intelligent

Since 1970-ties the research is being carried out for the development of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) that aretrying to imitate human-teachers and their teaching methods. However, over the last decade researchers inspired by the closerelationship between emotions and learning have been working on the addition of an emotional component to human-computerinteraction. This has led to creation of a new generation of intelligent tutoring systems – emotionally intelligent tutoring systems(EITS). Despite the research carried out so far, a problem how to adapt tutoring not only to a student’s knowledge state butalso to his/her emotional state has been disregarded. The paper presents study on how to use the determined student’s emotionalstate further in order to change behaviour of the intelligent tutoring system looking from the pedagogical point of view and toimplement this as a part of the pedagogical module. The architecture of the planned tutoring system that adapts the tutoring bothto student’s emotions and knowledge is also described in the paper.

The paper focuses on the issues of providing an adaptive support for learners in intelligent tutoring systems when learners solve practical problems. The results of the analysis of support policies of learners in the existing intelligent tutoring systems are given and the revealed problems are emphasized. The concept and the architectural parts of an intelligent tutoring system are defined. The approach which provides greater adaptive abilities of systems of such kind offering two modes of problem-solving and using a two-layer model of hints is described. It is being implemented in the intelligent tutoring system for the Minimax algorithm at present. In accordance with the proposed approach the learner solves problems in the mode which is the most appropriate for him/her and receives the most suitable hint.

This paper describes an adaptive and intelligent tutoring system (AITS) based on multiple intelligences and expert system. Most of adaptive and intelligent tutoring systems based their adaptation to user’s skill level. Other learner features taken into account are background, hyperspace experience, preferences and interests. However, less attention was paid to multiple intelligences and their effects on learning. Moreover, to design AITS which can manage both different disciplinary domains and a guide for the learner is difficult. The specialization of the analysis treatments is responsible for the loss of reusability for the other disciplinary domains. To overcome these limitations, the authors will try to combine the benefits of paradigms (adaptive hypermedia, intelligent tutoring system, multiple intelligences) in order to adapt the course to the needs and intellectual abilities of each learner.

ABSTRACT: The online homework manager (OHM) and the intelligent tutoring system (ITS) are two supplemental teaching tools available for accounting educators' use in the introductory financial accounting course. While research related to these systems is limited, prior studies find a tenuous performance advantage related to their use. To advance the literature in this area, this paper evaluates the performance benefit related to an OHM and an ITS, each employed independently as an additional study aid during the first course unit in one of two sections of the introductory financial accounting course. A third section used paper-and-pencil only and served as a control group. Results of tests on several performance measures did not identify a learning advantage associated with either the OHM or the ITS. Nor was a learning advantage identified when this study's results were compared to exam results from 14 previous semesters. Implications for accounting educators and future research directions are discussed.

Intelligent Tutoring Systems have been useful for individual instruction and training, but have not been widely created for teams, despite the widespread use of team training and learning in groups. This paper reviews two projects that developed team tutors: the Team Multiple Errands Task (TMET) and the Recon Task developed using the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT). Specifically, this paper 1) analyzes why team tasks have significantly more complexity than an individual task, 2) describes the two team-based platforms for team research, and 3) explores the complexities of team tutor authoring. Results include a recommended process for authoring a team intelligent tutoring system based on our lessons learned that highlights the differences between tutors for individuals and team tutors.

AbstractThe best tutors give a student the appropriate amount of guidance necessary for learning while helping the student stay confident, motivated and focused. So-called intelligent tutoring systems, trying to replicate the discipline-specific and the psychological dimensions of expert human tutoring, require enormous investments and are not accessible to the larger student population. PQtutor (physical quantities tutor) is a free online tutor designed to help students work out homework problems closely related to worked examples. The software is an extension of a free online calculator for science learners and uses problems from an open (free) textbook, making PQtutor accessible in terms of both technology and cost. PQtutor works by comparing student input to a model answer in order to generate prompts for finding a path to the solution and for correcting mistakes. The feedback is in the form of questions from a virtual study group suggesting problem-solving moves such as accessing relevant content knowledge, reviewing worked examples, or reflection on what their answer means. In cases where these moves have been exhausted but the problem remains unsolved, the tutoring system suggests seeking intelligent human help.
