A Framework for Model-Based Adaptive Training

Foundation - Conclusion

The work presented in this chapter is identifying elements which promote an adaptive model-based application. These elements need to be placed in a general theoretical framework for training and expertise specification.

The MOBAT framework needs the capability to map contextual details to the adaptive aspects of a model-based approach.

For example:

what are the appropriate subject areas for Model Based Training (e.g., what is an appropriate model) in a (changing) industrial environment;

can the problem-space [Newell 1981] be used to formally specify ITS domains (i.e., to map and create a conceptual representation of the domain);

can generic tasks [Leitch & Gallanti 1992] be linked to problem solving methods [van de Brug et. al. 1986] within a training framework;

how can an ITS itself embody principles of learning (e.g., across-trial, within-trial and across-task transfer of learning [Laird et. al. 1987]) ?
