COGNITIVE TUTOR ® SOFTWARE FEATURES Based on over 20 years of research into how students think and learn, the Cognitive Tutor ® Software was developed around an artificial intelligence model that identifies weaknesses in each individual student’s mastery of mathematical concepts. It then customizes prompts to focus on areas where the student is struggling, and sends the student to new problems that address those specific concepts. Innovative Research-Based Pedagogy >> Engages students directly in problem solving. >> Uses concrete, real-world scenarios. >> Prompts a student to think abstractly, by converting situations into quantities and units. Multiple Representations >> Students work with multiple representations of a problem. >> The Solver encourages students to express the problem numerically. >> The Grapher displays the problem graphically in a coordinate plane. >> The Worksheet prompts students to convert word problems to mathe matical expressions. Interactive Examples >> Delivers on screen, step by step instruction for each software unit. >> Students can see and engage in examples that promote a conceptual understanding of the problems being solved.
Embedded Assessment >> Offers continuous, formative assessment throughout the curricula. >> Delivers pre- and post-tests that automatically tie to custom-sequenced curricula. >> The pretest may be configured to be diagnostic, in which case results are used to set pacing for students in the instructional software. Just-in-time Feedback >> Hints are contextual and oriented towards helping the student to solve key steps in the problem. >> Immediate feedback enables the student to self-correct and leads to more effective learning and applying of the mathematics. Skillometer >> As a student becomes more proficient in a skill, the bars on the Skillometer increase in length and turn gold, indicating mastery. >> Teachers can view an immediate snapshot of each student’s progress. >> Students receive a dynamic, strong motivator to succeed. Reports >> Detailed reports document student activity in the software, including: mastered skills, number of problems solved, errors, help requests, etc. >> Use data to guide instructional decision-making.
