Enhanced teaching practices through a better understanding of teachers’ needs, enabling more effective and adaptive support for students’ foundational math skills using the Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS).
It empowers teachers to offer tailored support to each student while easing their workload. It creates a dual learning process, where teachers’ experience helps refine and enhance the Intelligent Tutoring System, and at the same time, the use of the tool contributes to their ongoing professional development by integrating innovative methods directly into their teaching practice.
Teachers today face increasing challenges due to large class sizes, teacher shortages, and diverse student needs. This is especially critical in early education, where the growing heterogeneity among young learners makes it harder to provide individualized support. Addressing these challenges is essential to ensure that all students can develop foundational skills effectively while reducing teacher workload and stress.
Addresses several key challenges. First, teachers often do not fully utilize the actionable information available from dashboards to inform and plan student learning. Practically, engaging teachers in research collaboration can be difficult due to their heavy workload. Finally, ensuring that high-quality educational software reaches schools is complicated by financial constraints, such as the cost of licenses.
