An intelligent education system which supports scientific thinking: Galieo - phiosophy and basic architecture

摘要

This paper discusses, Galileo, an Intelligent Education System which facilitates learners' scientific thinking. In the discussion we will focus on the concepts behind the designing of Galileo, and the guidance that it provides. First, we will discuss how to support scientific thinking. For this purpose, we will discuss naive knowledge which has been formed through learner's daily experiences. A learner who has naive knowledge cannot think about a given situation scientifically because the naive knowledge interferes with the appropriate understanding of the situations. Next, we present a design of Galileo focusing on teaching interaction and the learner models that enables it.
