Informing the Detection of the Students' Motivational State: An Empirical Study
- 2002
Abstract. The ability to detect the students'motivational state during an instruc-tional interaction can bring many benefits to the performance of an Intelligent Tu-toring System (ITS). In this paper we present an empirical study which provided us with a considerable amount of knowledge regarding motivation diagnosis. We show how this knowledge was formalised in order to create a set of motivation diagnosis rules that can be incorporated into a prototype tutoring system. We also briefly present how these motivation diagnosis rules were evaluated in another study.
