Cognitive Assessment in Coached Learning Environments.
Frederiksen, Carl; Donin, Janet
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v45 n4 p392-408 Win 1999
A model of expert tutors' knowledge of applied statistics was used to create a web-based computer coach that emulates human tutoring. Cognitive assessments are obtained from records of students' actions as, with the computer tutor's help, they learn to apply components of procedural knowledge required to solve problems. Learning is evaluated by studying changes in performance records. (Author/SV)
