Tutoring Transfer of Technical Competence

摘要

We report partial results of the evaluation of an intelligent tutoring system(Sherlock 2) that fosters the transfer of complex technical skills. The tutor's learning environment is concordant with views from the acquired skill through coached apprenticeship activities. Instructional content consists of authentic problem solving scenarios that situate trainees in realistic contexts where they can practice and hone complex diagnostic skills. Moreover, results show that their acquired expertise is generalizable to a novel equipment system. Similar general ability was not demonstrated by a matched control group. (AN).
