Eliciting self-explanations improves understanding

by Michelene T. H. Chi, Nicholas De Leeuw, Mei-hung Chiu, Christian Lavancher - Cognitive Science , 1994
"... Learning involves the integration of new information into existing knowledge. Generoting explanations to oneself (self-explaining) facilitates that integration process. Previously, self-explanation has been shown to improve the acquisition of problem-solving skills when studying worked-out examples. ..."

Eliciting Self-Explanations Improves Children’s Performance on a Field-Based Map Skills Task

by Kim A. Kastens, Lynn S. Liben
"... representation, fourth graders were asked to indicate the location of colored flags by placing similarly colored stickers on a map. In the explaining condition, students wrote down what clues they had used; in the baseline condition, they placed stickers without explanation. The explaining students ..."

Supporting Self-Explanation in a Data

by Normalization Tutor Antonija, Antonija Mitrovic - School of Information Technologies, University of Sydney , 2003
"... Self-explanation is one of the most effective learning strategies, resulting in deep knowledge. In this paper, we discuss how self-explanation is scaffolded in NORMIT, a data normalization tutor. Data normalization is the process of refining a relational database schema in order to ensure that al ..."

that all relations are of high quality. We present the system first, and then discuss how it supports self-explanation. We hypothesized the self-explanation support in NORMIT would improve students' problem solving skills, and also result in better conceptual knowledge. A preliminary evaluation

A Computer Framework to Support Self-Explanation

by Cristina Conati, Jill H. Larkin, Kurt Vanlehn , 1997
"... We present a computational framework for improving learning from examples by supporting self-explanation - the process of clarifying and making more complete to oneself the solution of an example. Many studies indicate that selfexplanation can improve problem solving performance, and that guiding se ..."

"... What are good ways of using natural language dialog in intelligent tutoring systems? A role with high potential payoff is to support the meta-cognitive process of selfexplanation. In previous experiments involving the PACT Geometry Tutor, we found that students learn with greater understanding, ..."

Assessing Student Self-Explanations in an Intelligent Tutoring System

by Philip M. Mccarthy, Mihai C. Lintean
"... Research indicates that guided feedback facilitates learning, whether in the classroom or with Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). Improving the accuracy of the evaluation of user input is therefore necessary for providing optimal feedback. This study investigated an automated assessment of students ..."

of students ’ input that involved a lexico-syntactic (entailment) approach to textual analysis along with a variety of other textual assessment measures. The corpus consisted of 357 student responses taken from a recent experiment with iSTART, an ITS that provides students with self-explanation and reading

, when they are required to explain their solutions steps “by reference”, that is, by naming the rule that was used. However, the tutor may be even more effective if students explain their solution steps in their own words and if the tutor helps them, through dialog, to improve their explanations
