TL;DR
This work examines six key dimensions: cognitive engagement, cultural responsiveness, formative assessment, formative assessment, power dynamics, accountability, and metacognition, outlining desiderata for LLM tutors in each area and reimagining LLMs’ role.
Many AI tutors leverage large language models (LLMs) today. Given that LLMs are opaque black boxes, robust evaluation and live experimentation to measure the impact of every change are essential. We pioneered AI-powered tutoring for K-12 with the launch of Khanmigo (Khan Academy, 2023). We describe the metrics we use t...
Large Language Models (LLMs) are reshaping the design and capabilities of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) by providing powerful generative, reasoning and interaction abilities, which surpass traditional rule-based approaches. This survey presents a structured overview of LLM-based ITS and analyzes how these models t...
A five-level scale is developed, validated against human annotations, that characterizes responses according to the degree of direct assistance LLMs provide when students use them as tutors in authentic learning interactions and provides an empirical baseline for LLM assistance in tutoring interactions and a measuremen...
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in computing education to support programming practice and generate explanations [5, 9]. However, current LLM-based systems are not pedagogically aligned and fail to adapt to learners’ prior knowledge, often producing feedback that is too advanced or oversimplified [8]...
The release of ChatGPT in 2022 introduced both transformative opportunities and notable challenges for writing instruction and heightened instructors’ concerns about its impact on teaching and student learning. To explore how GenAI may enhance business communication in the age of AI while mitigating its negative effe...
The results suggest that learner- and curriculum-aware alignment may matter more for effective tutoring than model category alone, and that such alignment is both measurable and improvable.
