Implementation of Adaptive Learning Systems: Current State and Potential

Foreword

“…Across the literature sample, evaluation was the theme among metacognitive regulation domain that deemed necessary when coded with the frequency of 660 codes for the auto coding process and 585 codes for the manual coding process. This implies that evaluation is emphasised in adaptive learning process, as Imhof et al (2020) also noted. Sample sets 1, 14, 17 and 25 indicated the most references to evaluation.…”

“…In such personalised and adaptive learning situations, prompts need to be personalised to adapt to leaners' needs as they aim to facilitate metacognitive regulation, which develops over time (Imhof, Bergamin & McGarrity 2020).…”

“…Research indicated that scaffolds in technology-based adaptive learning environments are useful for learners to regulate their learning (Veenman et al 2014). Metacognitive scaffolds can therefore be regarded as those scaffolding required to facilitate metacognitive regulation skills, by providing examples, prompts and hints on how, when and what to plan, monitor and evaluate -in other words, the prompts draw the learner's attention to the declarative, procedural and conditional knowledge (Imhof et al 2020). Examples of metacognitive prompts that serve as scaffolds that can be implemented in an online learning platform include the providing of scaffolding messages or prompts based on a literature review, as well as the availability of examples of similar tasks during task-engagement.…”

“…To apply the core components identified by Imhof et al's (2020) model of the core components of adaptive learning systems, the following questions can be phrased:…”

“…Vagale and Niedrite (2012) explained the learner model as the user or student model which represents the learner or student. This model embodies Source: Adapted fromImhof, Bergamin & McGarrity (2020).…”
