智慧型電腦輔助教學系統發展環境之研究

Abstract

電腦在教育上的應用已隨著微電腦的普及化而快速發展，並且在人類學習 上扮演逐漸重要的角色。從1970年開始，人工智慧的技術被應用到電腦輔 助教學(CAI)的設計上，形成所謂的「智慧型電腦輔助教學」( Intelligent CAI or ICAI)，以克服傳統電腦輔助教學的限制，使系統能 夠用較智慧、較具彈性的方式來教導學生，以期達到更佳的學習效果。本 論文的目的是要發展一個高中化學電腦輔助教學系統，讓系統以較為聰明 的方式輔助教學活動。因此，我們不只注重使用者界面和教材的設計，還 特別分析學生的個人特質；藉由個人特質的分析，系統能夠針對互異的學 生提供不同的教學腳本與教學程序，達到因材施教的目的。 In the field of CAI, the system's capability to adapt tutoring processes to individual student is very limited, and hence those instructional systems have been inadequate to provide robust and rich learning environments. Starting in the 1970s, Intelligent CAI(ICAI) systems were discussed in order to overcome the limitation of traditional CAIs by imposing Artificial Intelligence(AI) principles and techniques on conventional approaches. The ICAI system can instruct students in an intelligent way, and bring more interactivity and flexibility to tutoring domains. In our work, it is desired to develop an ICAI system on the domain of a senior high school course about Chemistry, which could provide a flexible learning environment to assist in instructional activities. In our system development, it not only focuses on the design of user interfaces and subject materials, but also pays attention to the analysis of personalities. By analyzing the personal characteristics, the system is able to present more flexible and personalized tutoring processes for various students. In this thesis, we shall propose a theoretical framework based upon Expert System principles and some methodologies for the development and construction of the ICAI system.
