Janice D. Gobert; Haiying Li; Rachel Dickler; Christine Lott – Grantee Submission, 2024
An intelligent tutoring system (ITS, henceforth) is currently defined as a computer system that delivers personalized instruction to students by using computational techniques to evaluate the learner in a variety of ways, including (but not limited to) their prior knowledge, competency/skill levels, motivation, and affective states. ITSs are…

Amy Adair – Grantee Submission, 2024
Developing models, using mathematics, and constructing explanations are three practices essential for science inquiry learning according to education reform efforts, such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013). However, students struggle with these intersecting practices, especially when developing and interpreting…

Gary Weiser; Alison K. Billman; Christopher J. Harris; Lauren M. Brodsky; Damelin Daniel – Grantee Submission, 2022
The "Framework" and NGSS bring to the forefront the role of language in doing science and in learning from doing science. Yet, most existing science assessments for elementary learners do not integrate or attend to aspects of scientific language and literacy that are essential components of science proficiency. Accordingly, there is a…
