Tutors encourage students to elaborate answers, and elaboration has been shown to increase learning. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are computer programs that simulate human tutors to interact with and encourage students to write elaborated answers. ITS and elaboration have primarily been used to teach well-structured domains with defined solutions. However, argumentation has been shown to increase learning in ill-structured domains where solutions are unclear. In the current study AutoTutor Lite, an ITS that uses natural language, was used to deliver lessons on the ill-structured domain of civics. The lessons included no interaction, an explanation interaction, argument interaction, or an irrelevant control. The lessons proved to be effective at teaching participants the material; however there was limited evidence that interacting provided additional benefits, though there is some indication that the kind of interaction with the tutor affected how participants value arguments. 2013-12-09 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1386173705 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1386173705 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
