Description

The article uses "Constraint-Based Modelling (CBM) to model the domain knowledge and generate student models". The authors had previously applied CBM in tutors teaching SQL and English punctuation rules, and present KERMIT as evidence that CBM "can be used to support students learning design tasks, which are very different from domains we dealt with in earlier tutors". CBM thus functions in the paper as a reusable framework for domain and student modelling across qualitatively different task types.

Accounts

• Constraint-Based Modelling as a domain-modelling and student-modelling approach extended to design tasks: The article uses "Constraint-Based Modelling (CBM) to model the domain knowledge and generate student models".

Claims

• KERMIT was effective in two evaluation studies with university database-course students [+M]
