Abstract

We conducted a within-subjects study of the effect on student learning of using open student model in the form of taxonomic concept map. We found a significant improvement in learning on two questions related to the topic of the tutor, and no pre-post improvement on questions unrelated to the topic of the tutor. These preliminary results suggest that students may learn concepts indirectly by viewing the open student model presented as taxonomic concept map after each problem.
