Data and Theory Driven Artificial Intelligence to Boost the Science of Learning (AI4SoL)

The use of educational technologies is increasingly becoming more ubiquitous in mathematics education. While artificial intelligence (AI) has been integrated into the development of educational technologies, for example Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs), the recent advancements in generative AI (gen AI) promise personalized learning in a more natural way. In particular, leveraging the natural language capabilities of large language models (LLMs) - a type of gen AI – to enable dialogic practice is a promising nascent field of study.

While mathematics learning requires both conceptual and procedural knowledge, students learn mathematics through sense‑making of these types of knowledge through problem‑solving. This requires students to access and/or construct their own relevant mathematics knowledge, create representations...
