THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXPERT SYSTEM IN THE AREA OF MATHMATICAL EDUCATION AT SCHOOL (8TH GRADE) ON THE POLYLINGUALISM PLATFORM (RUSSIAN-TATAR-ENGLISH)

Abstract

With the increasing workload of a teacher arises a problem of fast diagnosing the deterioration of pupils’ academic performance with the corresponding differentiation of the academic workload. To cope with this problem an Expert System (ES) has been developed, which is capable of consulting a teacher in questions related to the techniques of teaching a subject, from the analysis of pupils’ academic performance.The article uncovers the general didactic concepts of developing an ES in educational area on the example of teaching Algebra subject for the 8th grades based on polylingualism. During this research the architecture of the ES has been developed. In addition innovative approaches in analysis and processing of relevant data by the ES have been implemented in the form of a computer application. The model of analyzing pupils’ academic performance represented in grades is used as a basis for building an individual educational strategy. The system automatically selects the most optimal academic load for each individual pupil as well as for the entire class. This helps achieving flexibility during developing and realization of the study course.Due to the fact that some of the responsibilities of the teacher are taken by the ES, the teacher’s workload decreases, at the same time increasing the quality of education. The system is capable of analyzing current academic performance of each individual pupil in real time and depending on the improvement or deterioration in pupil performance it differentiates the load of a particular student for instance by generating individual homework exercises.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12731/2218-7405-2013-2-29
