This paper describes an effort to model students' changing knowledge state during skill acquisition. [...] Key Method As the student works, the tutor also maintains an estimate of the probability that the student has learned each of the rules in the ideal model, in a process calledknowledge tracing. The tutor presents an individualized sequence of exercises to the student based on these probability estimates until the student has ‘mastered’ each rule.Expand

Knowledge Tracing Models’ Predictive Performance when a Student Starts a Skill
Previous studies on the accuracy of knowledge tracing models have typically considered the performance of all student actions. However, this practice ignores the difference between students’ initial…
Tutor Modeling vs . Student Modeling
The current paradigm in student modeling, Knowledge Tracing, has continued to show the power of its simplifying assumption of knowledge as a binary and monotonically increasing construct, the value…
Investigating Knowledge Tracing Models using Simulated Students
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are widely applied in K-12 education to help students to learn and master skills. Knowledge tracing algorithms are embedded in the tutors to keep track of what…

TLDR
ModPFA was developed by adding the hinting parameter to the original PFA formula and has scoring procedure and knowledge level estimation for each student, and results have shown great improvement in terms of performance estimation in the ModPFA compared to PFA.
Generalized Knowledge Tracing: A Constrained Framework for Learner Modeling
TLDR
It is argued that to be maximally applicable a learner model needs to adapt to student differences, rather than needing to be pre-parameterized with the level of each student's ability, to strengthen the applicability to learning technology.
Modeling Student Knowledge: Cognitive Tutors in High School and College
TLDR
The role of student modeling in making the transition from the research lab to widespread classroom use is examined, university-based efforts to empirically validate student modeled in the ACT Programming Tutor are described, and a description of the key role that student modeling plays in formative evaluations of the Cognitive Algebra II Tutor is described.
Going Online: A simulated student approach for evaluating knowledge tracing in the context of mastery learning
Knowledge tracing algorithms are embedded in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to keep track of students’ learning process. While knowledge tracing models have been extensively studied in offline…
Predicting Individualized Learner Models Across Tutor Lessons
TLDR
It is found that best-fitting student parameters trained on previous lessons do not directly transfer to new lessons; however, one can effectively predict the student parameters for the new lesson by using features derived from prior lessons, and prior to tutor text-reading transaction data.
‒A Review of Student Models Used in Intelligent Tutoring Systems
This chapter reviews current practice in student modeling in ITSs, focusing on current practices and optimal contexts of application. A student model is an essential part of an ITS since the student…
Tutor Modeling Versus Student Modeling
TLDR
Harnessing the same simplifying assumption of learning used in student modeling, this model can be turned on its head to effectively tease out the tutor attributes causing learning and begin to optimize the tutor model to benefit the student model.

Student Modeling in an Intelligent Programming Tutor
TLDR
The predictive validity of this modeling process is assessed, the implications for the rules in the ideal student model are examined, and the recommendations for remediation are examined.
Cognitive Tutors: Lessons Learned
TLDR
The 10-year history of tutor development based on the advanced computer tutoring (ACT) theory is reviewed, finding that a new system for developing and deploying tutors is being built to achieve the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards for high-school mathematics in an urban setting.
Cognitive Modeling and Intelligent Tutoring
Abstract : The ACT theory of skill acquisition and its PUPS successor provide production-system models of the acquisition of skills such as LISP programming, geometry theorm-proving, and solving of…
General Principles for an Intelligent Tutoring Architecture.
TLDR
The major outcome of the research project has been a set of ideas for developing intelligent tutoring systems and an architecture for implementing these ideas which has been used so far to teach LISP, prolog, and pascal at CMU, and NYNEX has adapted it to teach COBOL.
Skill Acquisition and the LISP Tutor
An analysis of student learning with the LISP tutor indicates that while LISP is complex, learning it is simple. The key to factoring out the complexity of LISP is to monitor the learning of the 500…
Transfer of programming skills in novice lisp learners
TLDR
This research addresses novices' learning of the programming language LISP and transfer between coding, debugging, and evaluation and supports an identical elements theory of transfer based on ACT* learning mechanisms.

TLDR
Apparently, this transfer mechanism acts on declarative propositional representations of the production rules, suggesting that it is more similar to comprehension processes than to conventional practice mechanisms, or to Anderson’s learning principles.
