The site gives an overview of Cognitive Tutoring experiences of K-12 Education teachers and students in Carneige Learning Centre. They talk about the benefits and so.

keyifli okumlar : )

I guess everyone of us played that game with a very clear goal: to save the princess! There was a hidden power which kept us hours and hours playing that game, now we now what it is: Flow! :)

"Flow is when tasks seem effortless, challenging, and rewarding - all at the same time."

A good illustration for flow.

That is the image Csikszentmihalyi showed and talked about it and I totally agree that the danger zone is "apathy" Most of the teachers should have experienced lots of problems with their students as they have apahty.

I really like the the part of implications for teachers. It make flow theory more clearer for me.

For both the ones who encounter "Flow Theory" for the first time and the ones who have encountered before and had a notion about the theory, this video will be very helpful to see what Flow Theory says, and what are the moments that you experience flow.

"You know that what you need to do is possible to do, even though difficult, and sense of time disappears. You forget yourself. You feel part of something larger." I really liked this quote of him. :)

:D Benim de hayatımda ki her şey dönüp dolaşıp motivationa ve curiositye bağlanıyor sanırım :) Harika bir video, Beyin bedava :)

ACM library has so many article, publications and resources on cognitive tutoring and intelligent tutoring systems. If you are interested, you can check more here. Also METU has the subscription to ACM.

An article about computerized tutoring (NYT 2012)

"Teacher gestured, pointed, made eye contact, modulated her voice." some of the missing elements in cognitive tutoring systems.

A center for cognitive tutor program. The definition from the website: "Our research focuses on the development of Cognitive Tutors -- instructional systems that support guided learning-by-doing. Drawing from the disciplines of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology and human computer interaction, we develop systems that provide individualized assistance to students as they work on challenging real-world problems in complex domains such as computer programming, algebra and geometry. Individualized guidance is made possible using detailed computational models of skills and misconceptions underlying a learning domain."

This article is from Journal of Educational Psychology describing an advanced learning technology used to investigate hypotheses about learning by teaching. The proposed technology is an instance of a teachable agent, called SimStudent, that learns skills (e.g., for solving linear equations) from examples and from feedback on performance. SimStudent has been integrated into an online, gamelike environment in which students act as "tutors" and can interactively teach SimStudent by providing it with examples and feedback.

LISTEN (Literacy Innovation that Speech Technology ENables) is an inter-disciplinary research project at Carnegie Mellon University to develop a novel tool to improve literacy - an automated Reading Tutor that displays stories on a computer screen, and listens to children read aloud.
