碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 90 === Abstract The motivation of this thesis is the idea that a Computer-Managed Learning Environment Based on Student Thinking Styles [2] can assist teachers to immediately observe each student’s study situation and know what concepts each student needs to learn. Robert J. Sternberg, who is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Yale University, proposed how teachers can teach more effectively in the section “How Teachers Upgrade the Efficiency of Teaching According to Students’ Thinking Styles”, from the book Thinking Styles [3]. Teachers can group the students according to their Thinking Styles, and this will make students in the same group study more easily. As well as thinking styles, the CAI system records each student’s progress relative to a prerequisite graph. The prerequisite graph both facilitates grouping of students and chooses the appropriate instructional materials for individual students. The CAI system thus provides teachers a much more flexible and efficient online teaching environment.
