为成人学习者设计适配的智能导师系统，提升自学效率。
Intelligent Tutors for Adult Learners: An Analysis of Needs and Challenges
- 开发自适应问题选择与实时反馈的智能导师平台
- 通过焦点小组发现成人学习核心挑战与需求
- 提出可落地的设计建议，助力终身学习技术优化
本研究探讨影响成人自主学习中智能辅导系统采纳与使用的社会技术因素。首先，提出名为Apprentice Tutors的新一代智能辅导系统，针对成人学习者需求设计，包含自适应题目选择、实时反馈及可视化仪表盘，支持大学代数内容学习。其次，通过部署实验和多轮焦点小组访谈，运用主题分析法识别成人用户的关键需求与使用体验。基于研究结果，提出具体的设计改进建议，帮助开发者打造更契合成人动机与学习偏好的智能辅导系统。本工作推动了教育技术在终身学习与职业发展中的有效应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This work examines the sociotechnical factors that influence the adoption and usage of intelligent tutoring systems in self-directed learning contexts, focusing specifically on adult learners. The study is divided into two parts. First, we present Apprentice Tutors, a novel intelligent tutoring system designed to address the unique needs of adult learners. The platform includes adaptive problem selection, real-time feedback, and visual dashboards to support learning in college algebra topics. Second, we investigate the specific needs and experiences of adult users through a deployment study and a series of focus groups. Using thematic analysis, we identify key challenges and opportunities to improve tutor design and adoption. Based on these findings, we offer actionable design recommendations to help developers create intelligent tutoring systems that better align with the motivations and learning preferences of adult learners. This work contributes to a wider understanding of how to improve educational technologies to support lifelong learning and professional development.
