Artificial intelligence in Programmed teaching and learning

摘要

This paper deals with a software based on artificial intelligence prepared for programmed learning. Programmed learning is defined as teaching material classified in carefully planned articles and sequences, from which comes assignment which pupil solves and receives infromation right away whether he had solved the assignment successfully or made a mistake and encouragement for further work. This way feedback connection from pupil towards teacher is realized. Thereforer programmed learnig can be used without learning machines, but computer powered by artifitial inteligence, can not be without programmed material in it. Intelligent educational software can successfully replace or complement teacher where his abilities are technically or biologically limited. In his model pupil has possibility to choose one among several offered alternative replies which are given in a wider entirety, and give reply that he thinks is true. If he chooses wrong reply, pupil must reinvestigate the complete process of previous work and find out where he had made a mistake, and that helps him in different directing of his further work. In this way independent thinking of pupil and his abilities are revieled more intensively. Very important contribution of branched programme is that it makes possible individualization of teaching and learning process using educational software,
