Identifying and Overcoming Student’s Misconceptions in Chemistry

An Intelligent Tutoring System to Teach Chemical Equations with Worked-out Analogical Examples

von Maren Stümke

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) aim to provide students with comparable instructional advantages to that of a human tutor by responding to individual needs and providing immediate feedback. This book provides the implementation and some testing of such an ITS for chemical formulae, especially redox reactions. It comprises a background module with the rules of deriving equations, a student module identifying errors or misconceptions, an interface, and a feedback module where structurally analogous examples are selected.
