Description¶
Andes2 is an intelligent tutoring system for supporting students solving introductory physics homework problems, including algebraic equation solving and validity checking.
Components¶
- Algebra subsystem for Andes2 physics tutoring system with four capabilities: The article describes a subsystem that resolves algebraic questions for Andes2, an intelligent tutoring system for introductory physics homework problems. As printed in the abstract, it is "capable of 1) solving the systems of equations at the level of introductory physics problems, 2) checking the validity of equations the students enter". The author notes the capabilities "would be useful for any ITS which deals with problems involving complex systems of equations". (Joel A. Shapiro (2005))
Claims¶
- The subsystem checks the validity of equations students enter and determines dependence on other equations [+W]
- The subsystem handles dimensional units of physical quantities throughout, described as a new feature [+W]
- Equation-dependence determination lets the help module model which equations the student appears to know [+W]
- A changed meaning of equation correctness and derivation method is discussed and its effect on tutor effectiveness evaluated [+W]
