Abstract

The tutoring protocol controls the interaction between the tutor and the student in a tutoring session. Our goals are to understand human tutoring so that we can emulate it better and to discover which tutoring protocol gives the best results in teaching causal reasoning. We used C5.0 to analyze a set of human tutoring transcripts to discover how and when human tutors switch protocols. In order to understand which students prefer which protocols, we compared the students' performance using CIRCSIM-Tutor with their responses to a questionnaire about the program.
