A Systematic Review of Domains, Techniques, Delivery Modes and Validation Methods for Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Abstract

An Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is a computer software that help students in learning educational or academics concepts in customized environment. ITSs are instructional systems that have capability to facilitate user by providing instantaneous feedback and instructions without any human intervention. The advancement of new technologies has integrated computer based learning with artificial intelligence methods with aim to develop better custom-made education systems that referred as ITS. One of the important factors that affect students learning process is self-learning; all students cannot have similar experience of learning scholastic concepts from same educational material. Because students have individual differences that make some topics difficult or easy to understand regarding taken subjects. These systems have capability to improve teaching and learning process in different educational domains while respecting individual learning needs. In this study an attempt is made to review the research in field of ITSs and highlight the educational areas or domains in which ITSs have been introduced. Techniques, delivering modes and evaluation methodologies that have been used in developed ITSs have also been discussed in this work. This work will be helpful for both academia and new comers in the field of ITSs to further strengthen basis of tutoring systems in educational domains.

Technological Tools for Knowledge Apprehension and Promotion in the Cultural and Heritage Tourism Sector: Systematic Literature Review

“…One of the most common ways to evaluate and understand all available research literature related to a specific research problem or question is the systematic literature review [19]. For this study, the objective is to recognize the advances within the technological strategies used for the apprehension of knowledge developed in natural environments with a tourist vocation.…”

Examining the applications of intelligent tutoring systems in real educational contexts: A systematic literature review from the social experiment perspective

“…For instance, Paladines and Ramirez ( 2020 ) reviewed ITSs incorporating natural dialogue systems. Soofi and Ahmed ( 2019 ) reviewed studies that focused on domains, techniques, delivery methods and validation methods of ITS. Cuéllar-Rojas et al ( 2021 ) conducted a systematic review focusing on educational evaluation mediated by ITS.…”

A Review of Automatic Question Generation in Teaching Programming

“…In recent years, a number of researchers have been attracted from different disciplines toward automatic question generation for educational purposes [1] [2] [3]. The researcher in [4] defined question generation as "It is an activity of automatically generating questions for different inputs like raw text through semantic illustration".…”

“…The educational question generation is not a new concept, but it has a long history and can be traced back to the use of logic in questions [2], [4], [5]. Cohen is the pioneer of this research area who initially proposed the content for generating questions through an open formula and used one or more unbound variables [1]. Whilst research on generating questions is carried out for a long time, using techniques for automatic question generation for teaching computer programming has raised interest only recently amongst various research communities, because it requires inclusion of cognitive science, natural language processing and human interaction with computers.…”
