通过跳过已掌握步骤,减少学习中的重复练习
Optimizing Mastery Learning by Fast-Forwarding Over-Practice Steps
- 基于学生解题路径模拟,跳过已完全掌握的解题步骤
- 可减少三分之一的重复练习时间,无需重设计课程
- 适合擅长难题的学生,对高难度任务适应性更强
掌握式学习能提升学习效果与效率,但学生在已掌握技能上重复练习仍是辅导系统的核心挑战。以往研究通过优化题目选择算法和设计聚焦练习任务来减少重复练习,但较少关注步骤级自适应。本文提出并评估了‘快进’(Fast-Forwarding)技术,该技术增强现有题目选择算法,基于学习者模型和真实学生解题路径的模拟,若剩余所有解题路径均已被完全掌握,则跳过相关步骤。实验表明,该方法可减少高达三分之一的重复练习,且不需资源密集型课程重构。快进法灵活兼容各类题目选择算法,尤其对优先选择难题的算法效果更显著。结果提示,尽管快进可提升练习效率,其实际效益也依赖学生在高难度任务中的持续动机与投入。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mastery learning improves learning proficiency and efficiency. However, the overpractice of skills--students spending time on skills they have already mastered--remains a fundamental challenge for tutoring systems. Previous research has reduced overpractice through the development of better problem selection algorithms and the authoring of focused practice tasks. However, few efforts have concentrated on reducing overpractice through step-level adaptivity, which can avoid resource-intensive curriculum redesign. We propose and evaluate Fast-Forwarding as a technique that enhances existing problem selection algorithms. Based on simulation studies informed by learner models and problem-solving pathways derived from real student data, Fast-Forwarding can reduce overpractice by up to one-third, as it does not require students to complete problem-solving steps if all remaining pathways are fully mastered. Fast-Forwarding is a flexible method that enhances any problem selection algorithm, though its effectiveness is highest for algorithms that preferentially select difficult problems. Therefore, our findings suggest that while Fast-Forwarding may improve student practice efficiency, the size of its practical impact may also depend on students' ability to stay motivated and engaged at higher levels of difficulty.
