Intelligent tutors have the potential to enhance training in avionics troubleshooting by giving students more experience with specific problems. Part of the success of these tutors will depend on their ability to assess and diagnose the student's knowledge in order to direct pedagogical interventions. The broad goal of the research program described here is to develop a methodology for assessment and diagnosis of student knowledge in the domain of avionics ...
We report partial results of the evaluation of an intelligent tutoring system (Sherlock 2) that fosters the transfer of complex technical skills. The tutor's learning environment is concordant with views from the acquired skill through coached apprenticeship activities. Instructional content consists of authentic problem solving scenarios that situate trainees in realistic contexts where they can practice and hone complex diagnostic skills. Moreover, results show that their acquired expertise is generalizable ...
