Cody, Christa; Maniktala, Mehak; Lytle, Nicholas; Chi, Min; Barnes, Tiffany – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022
Research has shown assistance can provide many benefits to novices lacking the mental models needed for problem solving in a new domain. However, varying approaches to assistance, such as subgoals and next-step hints, have been implemented with mixed results. Next-Step hints are common in data-driven tutors due to their straightforward generation…
