Abstract

SQL, the dominant database language, is a simple and highly structured language; yet, students have many difficulties learning it. This paper presents SQL-Tutor, an Intelligent Teaching System designed as a guided discovery learning environment, which helps students in overcoming these difficulties. We present design issues and the current state in the implementation of the system, with special focus on individualization of instruction towards a particular student.
