Assistments Project
An imaginary design process…
User Data
We talked to 18 algebra/geometry teachers who use CL’s Cognitive Tutor and/or prepare their students for the PSSA
– Email questionnaires [5]
– Interviews in their classrooms/offices/schools [5]
– Think Alouds at CL-sponsored conference [10]• Background questionnaires captured PSSA prep• Card-sorting task on CL algebra and geometry skills• Prototype walkthrough on our 5 designs
Feedback on Prototype
Feedback on PrototypeAssistments data is not currently
something teachers would know how to use.
"I would go back and teach the part again“ (U14, U22)
"I would assign more worksheets" (U20)
Practical Needs“What should I address next” (U14, U15)
Teachers’ sense of standards is more concrete than skills
“Have I covered all the standards”“Where in the standards are they stuck” (U15,
U20)
Feedback on PrototypeIndividual Questions give teachers concrete idea on where the students struggle
“Like most missed question displayed” (U14, U20)
Good visual presentation important for good testing results
“this has stuff all over the place” (U15)
“What does performance mean? Does higher number mean good or bad?” (U14, U15, U20)

Question
“Design Requirements” per element
Design Requirement Doc
1. Evaluation of designs
2. Formation of designs
3. Support future design for client (support our designs)
Requirements support
1. Class Element U6: Teacher does not concentrate on individual student needs but examines needs of class at a whole
Goals
1 Assign homework2 Determine what to teach next3 Answer will the kids pass the test (will I get fired?)
1.1 User should be able to see what their kids need to know and prioritize skills
Allow teachers to differentiate between skills that should be mastered versus skills that only require exposure (U2)
U9: allow teachers to highlight particular skills for more information to be gathered by system (give students more problems/practice) by weighting them heavier and having them show up more often in problem line up (diagnostic, not remedy) [2.1]
1.2 Users should be able to draw comparison between classes
U1: provide task analysis and measurements/metrics of improvement for comparing classes between curriculums to aid in lesson study [6.3]
U6: DI: Cares about seeing the class average
A New Design• Most importantly:
How many of my students will pass?
• Different tabs show further details:– Performance on state standards– Prioritized list of skills needing improvement– Progress– Questions the class missed the most
• Could be extended with:– Comparison between classes– Skill-Standard relation– Remedies
