Dr. Olusola O Adesope, Washington State University-PullmanDr. Olusola O. Adesope is an Assistant Professor of Educational Psychology at Washington State University, Pullman. His research is at the intersection of educational psychology, learning sciences, and instructional design and technology. His recent research focuses on the cognitive and pedagogical underpinnings of learning with computer-based multimedia resources; knowledge representation through interactive concept maps; meta-analysis of empirical research, and investigation of instructional principles and assessments in STEM.
AbstractMany research reports have been published over the last 30 years on the use of intelligent tutoring systems in computer science and software engineering education, but no previous systematic review has been conducted to describe and assess the field as a whole. This project (in progress) searched for publications meeting defined inclusion criteria and identified 280 eligible reports. We are currently coding these works using 28 variables that will allow us to describe the research field in aggregate. The results will tell us: What research questions are being asked? What are the types of student modeling being used? What subject domains have ITS been designed for? What issues or themes are most evident in recent research? What are the gaps in research on intelligent tutoring systems in computer science and software engineering education. Finally, what technological and pedagogical innovations are needed to advance research in this field?
