Improving Cognitive Decision-Making into Adaptive Educational Systems through a Diagnosis Tool based on the Competency Approach

Abstract

Adaptive Educational systems (AES) does not necessarily lead to a better learning. Several kinds of research reveal that the problem is due to, on the one hand, the accent is put mainly on the technological tools to the detriment of the pedagogical aspect. On the other hand, there is a lack of the importance given to the assessment which is an integral part of the learning-teaching process and the professional act of primary importance which gives the decisions and the consequences that result from it. In this paper, we propose a solution for the diagnostic evaluation based on competency approach especially on the pedagogy of integration. The proposed solution allows getting information about the available learners’ knowledge level by presenting an assessment based on the common definition given to competencies by the majority of the authors of the domain. İn this context, the assessment process proposed is presented on two steps: the first step, we evaluate resources related to the competence to verify their acquisition degree and to remediate if necessary, the second step will evaluate the capacity of leaner to mobilize those resources in order to apprehend a situation and respond to it in a more or less relevant way. This research aims to present a new vision in the context of the assessment into adaptive educational systems.

New Students' Self-Adjustment at Ar-Risalah Islamic Junior High School: Roles and Supporting Factors

“…They need to understand their surroundings as soon as possible. In this case, the physical environment (such as buildings, equipment, and other structural facilities), materials, condition of the activities (type and duration), regulations, various other provisions (namely discipline, rights, and obligations), existing personalities, duties assigned to each individual, etc needs to be considered (Hrich et al, 2019). These environmental conditions have an enormous impact on the students' selfadjustment process (Yuzarion et al, 2020).…”

GRAF: A System for the Assessment, Accreditation and Representation of Competency Learning in Online Higher Education

“…Conventional training activities are not always suitable for assessing competencies. Activities are required whose design is based on complex learning situations, where knowledge and skills have to be mobilized and integrated [14], and are assessable using instruments such as rubrics, which provide rigour, objectivity, and clarity to the process and facilitate the work of the assessing professor [7].…”

Problematic of the Assessment Activity within Adaptive E-Learning Systems

“…To valid the acquisition of a concept, the 2/3 rule, cited above, is adopted and if there is a difficulty the proposed approach is more relevant and specifies exactly where lies the problems. [14] With those characteristics, our proposal allows to improve the learning process in different ways:…”
