ANÁLISE DA EFETIVIDADE DE UM TUTOR INTELIGENTE PARA A PRÁTICA DE ENSINO A DISTÂNCIA

Abstract

This work aim to certificate if the use of an intelligent tutor increases the learning level in distance learning (DL). The purpose is to create a distance course using the pedagogical method based in the historical-social theory, besides this, customize a computational environment of DL to use an intelligent tutor based on artificial neural network, which establish an individual treatment to each pupil from the automatic perception of pupil skill. In contrast, prior to the course, this work will obtain the neuropsychological skill of the students in order to compare the mapped features by the actions of the intelligent tutors. The realization of the DL course will permit to obtain the adequate information to analysis and discussion of a multidisciplinary team to validate the actions of the intelligent tutor or, if necessary, establish parameters to increase the actions of intelligent tutor in a DL environment.
