This paper describes a tutorial program that serves a double role as an educational tool and a research environment. First, it introduces students to fundamental concepts of propositional logic and gives them practice with theorem proving. Secondly, the program provides an environment in which we can track student learning, explore cognitive issues of human problem solving, and investigate the possibilities of interactive human/machine learning. We have tested the tutorial program on two groups of Discrete Mathematics students and report the results of our assessment. We also discuss the contributions and future directions of our research in interactive human/machine learning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
