The Accuracy of Expert-System Diagnoses of Mathematical Problem Solutions.

Bennett, Randy Elliot; Sebrechts, Marc M.

Applied Measurement in Education, v9 n2 p133-50 1996

Four human judges agreed highly among themselves about the presence of errors committed by 60 adults solving algebra word problems, but were in less agreement about categorizing faults. An expert system agreed with judges about correctness of answers, but was in even less agreement about categorizing the faults. (SLD)
