SITS: A solution-based intelligent tutoring system for students� acquisition of problem-solving skills in computer programming

Abstract In learning systems and environment research, intelligent tutoring and personalisation are considered the two most important factors. An Intelligent Tutoring System can serve as an effective tool to improve problem-solving skills by simulating a human tutor�s actions in implementing one-to-...
