Intelligent Tutoring Systems incorporate Artificial Intelligence techniques, in order to imitate a human tutor. These expert systems are able to assess student’s proficiency, to provide solved examples and exercises for practice in each topic, as well as to provide immediate and personalized feedback to learners. The present study is a systematic review that evaluates the contribution of the Intelligent Tutoring Systems developed so far, to Mathematics Education, representing some of the most representative studies of the last decade.

AbstractIntelligent tutoring systems (ITS) have been shown to be highly effective at promoting learning as compared to other computer-based instructional approaches. However, many ITS rely heavily on expert design and hand-crafted rules. This makes them difficult to build and transfer across domains and limits their potential efficacy. In this paper, we investigate how feedback in a large-scale ITS can be automatically generated in a data-driven way, and more specifically how personalization of feedback can lead to improvements in student performance outcomes. First, in this paper we propose a machine learning approach to generate personalized feedback in an automated way, which takes individual needs of students into account, while alleviating the need of expert intervention and design of hand-crafted rules. We leverage state-of-the-art machine learning and natural language processing techniques to provide students with personalized feedback using hints and Wikipedia-based explanations. Second, we demonstrate that personalized feedback leads to improved success rates at solving exercises in practice: our personalized feedback model is used in , a large-scale dialogue-based ITS with around 20,000 students launched in 2019. We present the results of experiments with students and show that the automated, data-driven, personalized feedback leads to a significant overall improvement of 22.95% in student performance outcomes and substantial improvements in the subjective evaluation of the feedback.

Current educational developments in theories and practices advocate a more personalized, student-centered approach to teach 21st-century skills. However, the existing pedagogical practices cannot provide optimal student engagement as they follow a ‘one size fits all' approach. How can we provide high-quality adaptive instructions at a personalized level? Intelligent tutoring systems with embedded artificial intelligence can assist both students and teachers in providing personalized support. This chapter highlights the role of artificial intelligence in the development of intelligent tutoring systems and how these are providing personalized instructions to students with and without disabilities. This chapter gives insight into the challenges and barriers posed by the integration of intelligent tutoring systems in K-12 classrooms.

Tools to make the development of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) easier and more efficient are a relevant topic within the artificial intelligence in education community. This chapter presents a set of tools for constructing multiagent-based ITS, and describes a methodology for guiding the development of ITS. The main goal is to make multiagent-based ITS development more efficient and useful for both developers and authors. This has been done to support development of tutors based on Mathema’s environment as a reference model. Basically, in order to create a particular ITS, authors have to consider three main steps concerned with domain, student, and pedagogical models. A case study is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Results of this case study show that this proposal makes the process of building the considered ITS easier and more efficient.

We reflect on the progress in the area of Explainable AI (XAI) Program relative to previous work in the area of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS). A great deal was learned about explanation—and many challenges uncovered—in research that is directly relevant to XAI. We suggest opportunities for future XAI research deriving from ITS methods, as well as the challenges shared by both ITS and XAI in using AI to assist people in solving difficult problems effectively and efficiently.

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.

The objective of this study is to explore the role of artificial intelligence applications (AIA) in education. AI applications provide the solution in many ways to the exponential rise of modern-day challenges, which create difficulties in access to education and learning. They play a significant role in forming social robots (SR), smart learning (SL), and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) to name a few. The review indicates that the education sector should also embrace the modern methods of teaching and the necessary technology. Looking into the flow, the education sector organizations need to adopt AI technologies as a necessity of the day and education. The study needs to be tested statistically for better understanding and to make the findings more generalized in the future.
