Practice supporting system with related problem set generator based on targeted educational effects.

Area of Science:

• Educational Technology
• Chemistry Education

Background:

• Effective classroom exercises often utilize well-designed, similar problem sets.
• Teachers face challenges in creating these related problem sets (RPSs) to target specific educational outcomes.
• Students also benefit from targeted practice to address individual weaknesses.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) capable of generating RPSs for targeted educational effects.
• To provide an integrated system that supports both the generation of RPSs and exercises for learners.
• To assist teachers in providing effective practice materials and empower self-directed learners.

Main Methods:

• Development of the Intelligent Practice Supporting System (IPSS) for high school chemistry.
• Implementation of functions for automatic RPS generation.
• Integration of exercise support utilizing the generated RPSs.

Main Results:

• The IPSS demonstrated effective generation of related problem sets.
• Experiments showed that exercises facilitated by IPSS yielded superior educational effects compared to traditional methods.
• The system proved beneficial for both educators and students in targeted learning.

Conclusions:

• The Intelligent Practice Supporting System (IPSS) successfully addresses the challenge of creating and utilizing related problem sets in chemistry education.
• The system enhances educational effectiveness by providing tailored practice and support.
• ITS offer a promising avenue for improving pedagogical strategies and student learning outcomes.
