English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

[The module of an Intelligent Tutoring System] that models the student’s understanding of the domain.

CONT

Student Model Module. The task of this building block is to construct a student model which represents student’s knowledge. It is essentially an inductive inference which induces a model from observed data. In ITS [Intelligent Tutoring Systems], the model should be an executable program described in a knowledge representation language and the data are student’s answers to the problems.

CONT

The Student Module analyzes the student’s answers, diagnosis the misconceptions and keeps track of the information on the student’s mastery of the knowledge. The student modeler of XTRA-TE is aimed at both behavioral diagnosis and epistemic diagnosis. At the behavioral level, the student receives direct feedback from the system. The student’s response is checked against the domain knowledge for correctness.

CONT

To assist the student module in the task of diagnosis, [the expert module] can operate in a single-step mode showing the result of application of the best rule, or all rules, to a given problem.

Subject field(s)
  • Quality Control (Management)
CONT

When reviewing a drug order, the pharmacist applies knowledge of drug therapy and additional patient specific information(e. g. diagnosis, reported allergies, patient weight, etc.) to evaluate the appropriateness of the medication order for that specific patient. If a potential problem is identified, the pharmacist contacts the prescriber to clarify the order and/or discuss alternatives. This review process helps to avert many problematic orders before they can reach the patient, adding a crucial safety check to the medication use system.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Contrôle de la qualité (Gestion)
CONT

Lorsqu'il vérifie une ordonnance, le pharmacien met à profit ses connaissances sur la pharmacothérapie et les renseignements particuliers qu'il détient au sujet du malade, par exemple, le diagnostic, les allergies connues, le poids du malade, etc., afin d'évaluer le bien-fondé de l'ordonnance pour ce patient particulier. S'il détecte un problème potentiel, le pharmacien communique avec la personne qui a rédigé l'ordonnance pour clarifier la situation et discuter des solutions de rechange. Ce processus de révision contribue à bloquer certaines ordonnances problématiques avant que le médicament ne parvienne au patient, ajoutant un contrôle de sécurité de première importance au système d'utilisation des médicaments.

DEF

Diagnostic activities that can be performed at the behavioral level. Some ITS deal only with observable behavior, other infer aspects of unobservable behavior.

OBS

Wenger's taxonomy of behavioral diagnostic processes distinguishes between non-inferential ones, based on a powerful representation of knowledge correctness and on evaluating and characterizing errors(interactive diagnosis), and inferential diagnosis that reconstructs unobservable student behavior by interpreting student's responses and matching them against knowledge standards. The inference of unobservable behavior is centered on problem solving processes and requires modeling capabilities such as a theory of bugs.

Le diagnostic du comportement peut être interactif (le système fournit directement à l'étudiant des informations sur son comportement sans recourir à des inférences ou à des modèles, mais se basant sur une description «correcte» des connaissances sous la forme de plans annotés, de parseurs augmentés, ou d'algorithmes définis. Dans certains systèmes, le diagnostic comportemental est inférentiel en ce sens qu'il infère des comportements implicites, inaperçus en les reconstruisant et en les interprétant à partir des réponses de l'étudiant.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

An important subset of procedural simulations is diagnosis simulation. Here, the student is presented with a problem to solve, and must follow a set of procedures to determine the solution. Typical of these simulations are medical situations in which the student must diagnose a patient's problems and prescribe appropriate treatment. Other simulations involve diagnosing electronic or automotive faults, or identifying unknown substances.

Subject field(s)
  • Education Theory and Methods
CONT

In a fully computer-assisted instruction program, the computer takes over from the teacher in providing the learner with drill, practice, and revision, as well as testing and diagnosis. The form of the teaching may be simply linear or branching, or it can be extended to thinking and problem solving by simulation.

CONT

Traditional CAI programs are statically organized receptacles structured to embody both the domain and the pedagogical knowledge of expert teachers.

CONT

Since structured objects capture patterns among components, and the components do the job of representing more specific information, variations of instructional information such as wall displays, texts, worksheets, overheads, CAI programs, and filmstrips all can be represented by a single structured object, INSTRUCTIONAL INFORMATION.

OBS

A CAI program incorporating AI programming methods is often called an "Intelligent Computer-Aided Instruction" (ICAI) program or an "Intelligent Tutoring System "(ITS).

  • The Heart
CONT

The lack of valid criteria for the clinical diagnosis of cardiogenic embolism is a major problem in both patient care and research. The aim of this study was to identify features on the initial computed tomogram of the brain that discriminate between patient groups with and without a cardiac source of embolism. To gain insight into the neuroradiological features relevant to the diagnosis of cardiac embolic stroke, we studied the initial computed tomogram of the 1, 267 patients with ischemic stroke.

CONT

In BIP-I, the student model is defined only in terms of the skills, though in general other levels could be used as well. Associated with each skill is a pair of numerical values. One value stands for the system's estimate of the student's mastery of the skill and is updated by very simple techniques according to his performance on each task. The other stands for the student's own estimate of his understanding and is updated in the course of a short interview following each exercise. Since problem selection takes both values into account, this is an interesting, albeit simple, combination of inferential and interactive diagnosis.

OBS

Applies to systems such as WUSOR, ACE, the LISP tutor and the MACSYMA ADVISOR that invite the student to participate explicitly in the diagnostic process by volunteering information, or engage in menu-driven dialogues with the student that provide information about the student’s goals. Even if the student is more involved in the formation of the student model, inferential diagnostic capabilities remain necessary.

CONT

For diagnosis, the system simply updates the probabilities in the student's matrix with methods from probability theory. When problem classes occur for the first time, ad hoc heuristics generate a seed probability. Kimball claims that the probabilistic approach allows precise measurements of student learning revealing its discontinuities. He suggests that the identification of these discontinuities, which are apparently associated with failures, is an important pedagogical task. Kimball goes into a lengthy technical argument to support the applicability of his probabilistic approach to modeling the student, mainly from the standpoint of independence of the probabilities associated with the various approaches. Many of his concerns actually apply to other modular representations, such as rule-based ones, used more recently for student modeling.

The fact that the system can intelligently generate new problems in the course of diagnosis is an important advantage of the on-line setup, since these problems can be designed to discriminate among competing hypotheses. To compose new discriminatory subtraction problems, a generate-and-test strategy is adopted. With each primitive bug is associated a heuristic problem generator that is made to meet certain conditions in the generated problem, like having a zero on top or the same digit twice in one column.
