用AI模拟学生思维,提前发现理论课难点并优化教学设计。

Thinking Like a Student: AI-Supported Reflective Planning in a Theory-Intensive Computer Science Course

  • 用大模型模拟大二学生视角,预判理解障碍和思维断点。
  • 干预后学生反馈信心提升,抽象概念如泵引理理解更清晰。
  • 适合高难度理论课程教师用于改进教学设计与辅导流程。

疫情后,多所大学为高要求课程增设了辅助支持角色,但常缺乏明确规范、教学材料与核心教学团队的整合。本文针对一门形式化方法与计算模型的本科生课程,重新设计了辅助学习环节,引入大语言模型(LLM)作为反思性规划工具。该模型被提示以大二学生视角进行思考,提前识别出概念瓶颈、直觉缺失及可能的推理断裂点,进而指导设计出结构化、可重复的辅导流程:包含针对性复习、协作例题、独立练习与引导式讲解。整个干预持续一个学期,学生反馈积极,普遍反映自信心增强、焦虑降低、对抽象内容(如泵引理、形式语言表达能力比较)的理解更清晰。结果表明,面向教师的反思性LLM应用可有效提升理论密集型课程的教学设计质量,并可推广至其他认知负荷高的计算机科学课程。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In the aftermath of COVID-19, many universities implemented supplementary "reinforcement" roles to support students in demanding courses. Although the name for such roles may differ between institutions, the underlying idea of providing structured supplementary support is common. However, these roles were often poorly defined, lacking structured materials, pedagogical oversight, and integration with the core teaching team. This paper reports on the redesign of reinforcement sessions in a challenging undergraduate course on formal methods and computational models, using a large language model (LLM) as a reflective planning tool. The LLM was prompted to simulate the perspective of a second-year student, enabling the identification of conceptual bottlenecks, gaps in intuition, and likely reasoning breakdowns before classroom delivery. These insights informed a structured, repeatable session format combining targeted review, collaborative examples, independent student work, and guided walkthroughs. Conducted over a single semester, the intervention received positive student feedback, indicating increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and improved clarity, particularly in abstract topics such as the pumping lemma and formal language expressive power comparisons. The findings suggest that reflective, instructor-facing use of LLMs can enhance pedagogical design in theoretically dense domains and may be adaptable to other cognitively demanding computer science courses.
