Intelligent tutoring systems for education

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provide the benefits of one-on-one instruction usingcomputers. ITSs can get up the performance of the students overcoming space, time,socioeconomic and environmental restrictions, according to lots of researchers. In this sense, theprogress of researches to developed more effective programs to test and enhance the learningperformance of students continues rapidly.In this thesis, which aims to examine some characteristic properties of ITSs, an intelligenttutoring system for mathematics education at undergraduate and graduate level, has beendeveloped. The developed system, which is called as MathITS, is based on conceptual mapmodeling. Hence, the thesis focuses on student modeling of system principally. Knowledgerepresentation in the system is based on LaTeX notation to represent the mathematical symbolsand notation easily. The Mathematica Kernel is used as an expert system in MathITS.
