Albacete, P. L., & VanLehn, K. (2000). Evaluating the effectiveness of a cognitive tutor for fundamental physics concepts. In L. R. Gleitman & A. K. Joshi (Eds.), Proceedings of the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (pp. 25-30). Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum.
In this article we describe
and analyze the evaluation of the Conceptual Helper, an
intelligent tutoring system
that uses a unique cognitive approach to teaching qualitative
physics. The results
of the evaluation are encouraging and suggest that the proposed
methodology can be effective
in performing its task.
