Definitions

  • a self-tuition apparatus of this kind automatically decides the level at which questions are put to a student. If a student has learnt the study material well, he/she will answer most of the open-ended ques- tions correctly. If he/she does not know the answer to an open-ended question, the first processing means of the apparatus register this fact during the comparison step c) . The apparatus then automatically activates the second processing means and presents the student with a multiple-choice question with various multiple-choice answers . The relevant multiple-choice question corresponds to the open-ended question which the student answers incorrectly.
  • step 104 finds that the student has not input a correct answer with the aid of the input means 201, the program checks in step 105 whether the student has made an error of detail with respect to the correct answer.
  • step 105 use can be made of known algorithms for graphical or linguistic recognition.
  • the algorithm for graphical recognition is adapted to fit the technical features of the available input means and output means of which it is strongly dependent.
  • the algorithm for linguistic recognition is fully integrated in the system and is therefore described in more detail here.
  • the input of a linguistic answer can be made via a keyboard or via a microphone with a system for phonological conversion to text.
  • the system is very suitable for the latest technological advanced form of input as the algorithm for lin- guistic recognition can filter features which are not significant.
  • Such an algorithm for linguistic recognition filters the answer input by the student, checking for example for double spaces, spaces at the end of the answer, and the like. Then, the answer input by the student is compared in absolute terms with the correct answer with regard to the fol- lowing points: upper-case letters and lower-case letters, punctuation marks and diacritical marks. If the comparison shows that the student has only made an error of detail, the program proceeds to step 106. In step 106 it is established whether the student has made what is known as an error of detail which can be ignored. This may relate, for example, to the incorrect use of upper-case letters and lower-case letters. If the program establishes that the error of detail made can in fact be ignored, the program continues its route to step 108, which has already been explained above.
  • step 109 the program makes use of an algorithm for absolute comparison of the answer input by the student with one or more expected incorrect answers.
  • an algorithm of this kind is stored in the memory 207. Incorrect answers of this kind are based, for example, on incorrect reasoning which is nevertheless obvious and is expected by the author of the questions. If the use of the algorithm for absolute comparison with the one or more expected incorrect answers shows that the student has in fact input an expected incorrect answer using the input means 201, the apparatus notifies the student of this via the output means 202, via step 110, in which the error of reasoning is pointed out to the student. The program then gives the student a hint on the correct answer, step 113.
  • step 114 the program waits until the student has input an answer, after having received a hint about it.
  • step 115 the program checks whether the input answer is correct. This is performed in step 115, which is identical to step 104. If step 115 shows that the student has input a correct answer, a positive message follows, step 116. After step 116, the program returns to step 102, if there are still open-ended questions left to be asked. However, if the program establishes in step 115 that a correct answer has still not been given, the program proceeds to step 124, in which a multiple-choice question with various multiple-choice answers is presented to the student instead of an open-ended question. This step 124 will be explained below. As an alternative, step 117, which is ex- plained further below, can also follow here instead of step 124.
  • step 112 the program checks in step 112 whether this is an error of detail which can be ignored.
  • Step 112 is comparable to step 106, except that the check here is for a difference from an expected incorrect answer, and not from the correct answer. If this is in fact an error of detail which can be ignored, the program proceeds with step 110, which has already been explained above. If it is not an error of detail which can be ignored, the program proceeds with step 117, which step is also carried out if it is established in step 111 that this is not an error of detail.
  • step 126 the program checks automatically whether the answer input by the student is correct. To do this, use can be made, for example, of an algorithm for absolute comparison with correct answers, which is stored in the memory 206.
  • the author only has to take into account the answers which he/she finds useful in furthering the teaching process. He/she only has to compile correct answers or answers which are incorrect for an obvious reason. Moreover, in the multiple-choice questions the author does not have to invent extra diversionary answers to avoid the guessing effect. This is because the student is always asked at the level of the open-ended questions to input the correct answer.
  • each route travelled by the student for each question leads to a meaningful answer.
  • the questions asked by the apparatus form part of the teaching material and can be assessed. There is less need for tests.
