Abstract

We describe an intelligent tutor for LISP programming . This tutor achieves a set of pedagogical objectives derived from Anderson 's (1983) learning theory : provide instruction in the context of problem-solving , have the student generate as much of each solution as possible . provide immediate feedback on errors. and represent the goal structure of the problem-solving . The tutorial interface facilitates communication and prevents distracting low-level errors . Field tests of the tutor in college c lasses demonstrate that it is more effective than conventional classroom instruction .
