(1944)PROPOSAL TO ADAPT COMPUTER PROGRAMS ASSESSMENTPROCESSES AND COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS TOOLS TOSUPPORT EVALUATION OF DOCUMENTS WRITTEN IN NATURALLANGUAGE AS A RESULT OF LEARNING TASKS

摘要

Learning tasks often require the submission of text documents for assessment. The nature of thesedocuments may vary from being an essay about any issue to being the source code of a computerprogram. For the case of the submission of computer programs, some computer tools for assessmentsupport have been developed. These tools are capable of providing immediate feedback and ofproposing grades. They implement a process involving syntactic and style analysis as well as programtesting (used as a workaround for the more complex problem of semantic analysis).This workproposes to implement a similar process to support assessment of natural language documents.Research on computational linguistics could provide the needed tools;;although for most of languagesfurther development is required. Integration of these tools into an evaluation process similar to thatused for source code of programs must be also developed. The process itself is languageindependent as it is for computer languages.
