Abstract

This paper proposes a conceptual framework of an AI-ALS that extends the Domain Model with sub-skill modelling, to empower teachers with insights, create student awareness of sub-skills mastery level and provide better learning recommendations. The paper also presents the BuildUp Algebra Tutor, an online maths platform for secondary schools based on the proposed framework, that provides step-by-step scaffolding. Results from a pilot study with 5th grade students showed that the scaffolding improved the student success rate by 27.43%, and that the learner model achieves high sub-skill prediction performance with an AUC of up to 0.944. Moreover, survey results show an increase in student self-reported metrics such as confidence.
