Abstract

Human tutors have the ability to explain concepts several different ways using multiple instruction methods. Typically, instruction methods are used when students are having difficulty learning a concept. Intelligent tutoring systems are expert systems[5] where the expert is a tutor. Ideally, an intelligent tutoring system should have the ability to explain concepts several different ways using a knowledge base of multiple instruction methods[3,4,6,7]. The technique of providing instruction using multiple instruction methods during a single tutoring session is "Adaptive Instruction". An intelligent tutoring system that provides adaptive instruction has been developed, Arthur[2]. Arthur has been used in a research experiment with human subjects. The results of this experiment are discussed in the section below.
