The design of an intelligent tutoring system based on the ontology of procedural knowledge

This paper presents a new model to simulate procedural knowledge. This method divides procedural knowledge into two parts: process control and action performer. By adopting this method, we intend to help teacher construct curriculum and teaching strategies by capturing students' problem-solving process. Using the concept of procedural knowledge in intelligent tutoring systems, we can accumulate and duplicate the knowledge of teacher/curriculum manager and student model. Teacher/Curriculum manager can help the teacher create good learning maps for students. The student model can help the teacher collect students' error types and design more appropriate teaching strategies. The implementation of our system is near completion. We will design a user-friendly interface for the system and have students play with this software to collect feedback.
