Simulating Students with Large Language Models: A Review of Architecture, Mechanisms, and Role Modelling in Education with Generative AI

  • 适合教育技术研究者和智能教学系统开发者。

模拟学生为评估教学方法和建模多样学习者画像提供了有价值的框架,这些在现实环境中难以系统开展。近年来,研究逐渐聚焦于开发能捕捉多种学习风格、认知发展路径和社会行为的模拟代理。当前模拟技术中,将大语言模型(LLMs)融入教育研究成为一种灵活且可扩展的新范式。LLMs具备高度的语言真实性和行为适应性,使代理能够近似认知过程,并进行情境恰当的教学对话。本文综述了利用LLMs在教育环境中模拟学生行为的实证与方法学研究。我们整合了现有证据,探讨基于LLM的代理在模拟学习原型、响应教学输入及参与多代理课堂场景方面的表现。此外,还分析了此类系统对课程开发、教学评估和教师培训的影响。尽管LLMs在自然语言生成和情境灵活性上优于规则系统,但算法偏见、评估可靠性及与教育目标的对齐问题仍存。该综述指出现有技术和方法论缺口,并提出未来将生成式AI融入自适应学习系统与教学设计的研究方向。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Simulated Students offer a valuable methodological framework for evaluating pedagogical approaches and modelling diverse learner profiles, tasks which are otherwise challenging to undertake systematically in real-world settings. Recent research has increasingly focused on developing such simulated agents to capture a range of learning styles, cognitive development pathways, and social behaviours. Among contemporary simulation techniques, the integration of large language models (LLMs) into educational research has emerged as a particularly versatile and scalable paradigm. LLMs afford a high degree of linguistic realism and behavioural adaptability, enabling agents to approximate cognitive processes and engage in contextually appropriate pedagogical dialogues. This paper presents a thematic review of empirical and methodological studies utilising LLMs to simulate student behaviour across educational environments. We synthesise current evidence on the capacity of LLM-based agents to emulate learner archetypes, respond to instructional inputs, and interact within multi-agent classroom scenarios. Furthermore, we examine the implications of such systems for curriculum development, instructional evaluation, and teacher training. While LLMs surpass rule-based systems in natural language generation and situational flexibility, ongoing concerns persist regarding algorithmic bias, evaluation reliability, and alignment with educational objectives. The review identifies existing technological and methodological gaps and proposes future research directions for integrating generative AI into adaptive learning systems and instructional design.
