A new paper published in Computers and Education by WISE research directors Libby Gerard and Marcia Linn shows how computer-based automated guidance in WISE supports students to productively revise their their science explanations.
Highlighted findings include:
- Modeling integrated revision can help students leverage automated guidance to strengthen their science explanations.
- Embedding a model of revision into instruction may help learners try out this strategy with their own ideas.
- Guiding students to distinguish and connect ideas when revising is as important as helping students add missing ideas.
- Coupling a model of integrated revision with AI-based guidance creates meaningful writing/revision opportunities in science.
