Abstract
Research in Cognitive Science potentially offers tremendous benefits in education. Psychological studies of human learning yields insights as to what forms of instruction might be most beneficial for particular purposes and what mental models and misconceptions students might have. Artificial Intelligence (Al) research provides formal representations and reasoning techniques that can be used in new kinds of educational software which itself contains a deep understanding of the material being taught. These scientific advances, coupled with dramatic changes in computing technology provide new opportunities for exploring how intelligent software can be used in education.
