Adaptive Practicing Design to Facilitate Self-Regulated Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Online higher education provides exceptional flexibility in learning but demands high self-regulated learning skills. The deficiency of self-regulated learning skills in many students highlights the need for support. This study introduces a confidence-based adaptive practicing system as an intelligent assessment and tutoring solution to enhance self-regulated learning in STEM disciplines. Unlike conventional intelligent tutoring systems that depend entirely on machine control, confidence-based adaptive practicing integrates learner confidence and control options into the AI-based adaptive mechanism to improve learning autonomy and model efficiency, establishing an AI-learner shared control approach. Based on Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development (ZPD) concept, an innovative knowledge-tracing framework and model called ZPD-KT was designed and implemented in the confidence-based adaptive practicing system. To evaluate the effectiveness of the ZPD-KT model, a simulation of confidence-based adaptive practicing was conducted. Findings showed that ZPD-KT significantly improves the accuracy of knowledge tracing compared to the traditional Bayesian knowledge-tracing model. Also, interviews with experts in the field underlined the potential of the confidence-based adaptive practicing system in facilitating self-regulated learning and the interpretability of the ZPD-KT model. This study also sheds light on a new way of keeping humans apprised of adaptive learning implementation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
