Description

The article proposes a methodology in which student-chatbot exchanges are logged, coded into a 2×2 matrix of guidance acceptance (reject/accept) by revision correctness (correct/incorrect), and mapped onto possible interaction paths whose counts reveal where chatbot instruction succeeds or fails. It extends Winne and Nesbit's critique of snapshot between-group designs by tracing each participant's conversational trajectory. The authors state they "propose a new methodology to identify where improvements can be made in conversation patterns in educational chatbots", enabling progressive redesign of chatbot scripts.
