用大模型自动分析学生画的UML和ER图,给出具体改进建议。
Automated Feedback on Student-Generated UML and ER Diagrams Using Large Language Models
- 将图表转为文本比对,用多阶段大模型生成反馈。
- 教育者可获学习洞察,支持个性化教学决策。
- 适合大规模编程课教师与自学学生使用。
UML和ER图是计算机科学教育的基础,但因其需要抽象思维、上下文理解以及对语法和语义的掌握,对学生而言颇具挑战。传统教学方法难以在大规模课堂中提供可扩展且个性化的反馈。我们提出DUET(Diagrammatic UML & ER Tutor),一个基于大语言模型的原型工具,将参考图与学生提交的图转换为文本表示,并基于差异生成结构化反馈。该工具采用多阶段大模型流水线进行图对比与反思性反馈生成。此外,系统还为教育者提供分析洞察,旨在促进自主学习并优化教学策略。我们通过半结构化访谈对DUET进行了评估,参与者包括两名教师和四名助教。他们认可其可访问性、可扩展性和学习支持能力,但也指出可靠性不足和潜在误用风险。建议改进包括支持批量上传和交互式澄清功能。DUET为大模型在建模教育中的应用提供了可行方向,并为未来课堂集成与实证研究奠定基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
UML and ER diagrams are foundational in computer science education but come with challenges for learners due to the need for abstract thinking, contextual understanding, and mastery of both syntax and semantics. These complexities are difficult to address through traditional teaching methods, which often struggle to provide scalable, personalized feedback, especially in large classes. We introduce DUET (Diagrammatic UML & ER Tutor), a prototype of an LLM-based tool, which converts a reference diagram and a student-submitted diagram into a textual representation and provides structured feedback based on the differences. It uses a multi-stage LLM pipeline to compare diagrams and generate reflective feedback. Furthermore, the tool enables analytical insights for educators, aiming to foster self-directed learning and inform instructional strategies. We evaluated DUET through semi-structured interviews with six participants, including two educators and four teaching assistants. They identified strengths such as accessibility, scalability, and learning support alongside limitations, including reliability and potential misuse. Participants also suggested potential improvements, such as bulk upload functionality and interactive clarification features. DUET presents a promising direction for integrating LLMs into modeling education and offers a foundation for future classroom integration and empirical evaluation.
