用思维链增强数据,让大模型更懂教人。
CoDAE: Adapting Large Language Models for Education via Chain-of-Thought Data Augmentation
- 用思维链技术扩充师生对话数据,引导逐步推理
- 微调后模型减少提前给答案,更适应学生困惑
- 专治过度顺从、反应迟钝和易被情绪操控问题
大语言模型在教育领域作为智能导师具有可扩展性与个性化潜力,但现成模型常过早暴露答案、无法根据学生困惑调整回应,且易受情绪化提示干扰。为此,我们提出CoDAE框架,通过思维链(CoT)数据增强来优化模型教育能力。我们收集真实师生对话并用CoT提示扩充,促进分步推理与教学适配的指导。同时设计针对性对话案例,专门缓解三大缺陷:过度顺从、响应适应性差、安全脆弱性。我们在四个开源大模型上对不同增强数据集进行微调,并在模拟教育场景中使用自动指标与大模型评判评估。结果表明,经CoDAE微调的模型能提供更符合教学逻辑的引导,有效支持推理过程,并显著减少过早透露答案的问题。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly employed as AI tutors due to their scalability and potential for personalized instruction. However, off-the-shelf LLMs often underperform in educational settings: they frequently reveal answers too readily, fail to adapt their responses to student uncertainty, and remain vulnerable to emotionally manipulative prompts. To address these challenges, we introduce CoDAE, a framework that adapts LLMs for educational use through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) data augmentation. We collect real-world dialogues between students and a ChatGPT-based tutor and enrich them using CoT prompting to promote step-by-step reasoning and pedagogically aligned guidance. Furthermore, we design targeted dialogue cases to explicitly mitigate three key limitations: over-compliance, low response adaptivity, and threat vulnerability. We fine-tune four open-source LLMs on different variants of the augmented datasets and evaluate them in simulated educational scenarios using both automatic metrics and LLM-as-a-judge assessments. Our results show that models fine-tuned with CoDAE deliver more pedagogically appropriate guidance, better support reasoning processes, and effectively resist premature answer disclosure.
