title = {BEETLE {I}{I}: Deep Natural Language Understanding
and Automatic Feedback Generation for Intelligent Tutoring
in Basic Electricity and Electronics},
author = {Dzikovska, Myroslava and Steinhauser, Natalie and
Farrow, Elaine and Moore, Johanna and Campbell, Gwendolyn},
abstract = {Within STEM domains, physics is considered to be one of
the most difficult topics to master, in part because many of the
underlying principles are counter-intuitive. Effective teaching methods
rely on engaging the student in active experimentation and encouraging
deep reasoning, often through the use of self-explanation. Supporting
such instructional approaches poses a challenge for developers of
Intelligent Tutoring Systems. We describe a system that addresses this
challenge by teaching conceptual knowledge about basic electronics and
electricity through guided experimentation with a circuit simulator and
reflective dialogue to encourage effective self-explanation. The Basic
Electricity and Electronics Tutorial Learning Environment (BEETLE II)
advances the state of the art in dynamic adaptive feedback generation
and natural language processing (NLP) by extending symbolic NLP techniques
to support unrestricted student natural language input in the context of
a dynamically changing simulation environment in a moderately complex
domain. This allows contextually-appropriate feedback to be generated
``on the fly'' without requiring curriculum designers to anticipate
possible student answers and manually author multiple feedback messages.
We present the results of a system evaluation. Our curriculum is highly
effective, achieving effect sizes of 1.72 when comparing pre- to post-test
learning gains from our system to those of a no-training control group.
However, we are unable to demonstrate that dynamically generated feedback
is superior to a non-NLP feedback condition. Evaluation of interpretation
quality demonstrates its link with instructional effectiveness, and provides
directions for future research and development.},

robustness of a tutorial dialogue system that relies on detailed semantic
interpretation and dynamic natural language feedback generation. We show
that we can improve overall interpretation quality by combining the output
of a semantic interpreter with that of a statistical classifier trained on
the subset of student utterances where semantic interpretation fails. This
improves on a previous result which used a similar approach but trained the
classifier on a substantially larger data set containing all student
utterances. Finally, we discuss how the labels from the statistical classifier
can be integrated effectively with the dialogue system’s existing error
recovery policies.},

Expressions of confusions in tutorial dialogues},
booktitle = {Poster presented at the 31st Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society},
abstract = {Research suggests that students who are aware of their
own confusions and take steps to resolve those confusions are most
likely to benefit from a learning experience. At the same time, there
are conversational maxims, such as Leech’s politeness maxims, that may
inhibit a student from expressing and pursuing confusions within a
tutorial dialogue. We investigated students’ expressions of confusion
while working through a series of learning activities with a tutor. We
found that, during the times when students were working independently
on an activity, their expressions of confusion were reliable indicators
of their (lack of) understanding; however, when they were conversing
with their tutors, these same students did not express confusion and,
in fact, the more often the expressed comprehension, the worse they
performed on the post-test. This suggests that student metacognitive
statements should not be interpreted without taking into consideration
the context in which they were expressed. We briefly consider implications
for human tutors and the development of computer tutoring systems.},
