Intelligent Adaptive Learning
Effectiveness Comparable to Human Tutoring Accelerates Math Teaching and Learning
Researchers are finding that the results from computer-based systems using adaptive technology approximate those from human tutoring, which is why savvy teachers are now offering technology-enabled “personal tutors” – or Intelligent Adaptive Learning technology to their students.
The Intelligent adaptive learning guides the learning experience, and adjusts path and pace to stay within the child’s zone of optimized learning to accelerate understanding and critical thinking. The system also provides formative and summative data to the student’s teacher to enable more personalized instruction.
What makes this type of adaptive learning technology so intelligent?
- Intelligent analysis of a student’s solutions. The system interacts with the student by analyzing the data from the student’s actions in real-time as he solves problems, explores concepts, and makes decisions.
- Interactive problem solving support. Extensive, detailed feedback provides prompts to the student that cause him to rethink his strategies and solutions, and ultimately correct misunderstandings or mistakes. Instead of simply “telling” a novice student what the “next step” of an expert’s strategy would be, the system emulates the actions of an effective tutor.
- Curriculum sequencing. The system sequences the student’s progression through the modularized curriculum by providing the optimal planned sequence of curriculum units as the student demonstrates readiness.
- Multiple learning experiences. The intelligent adaptive learning system provides multiple pedagogical approaches to teach each concept. Tasks are meaningful, at an optimal level of difficulty for the student, and contextualized in ways that enable students to build schemas so they can make sense of the concept within the world around them.
- Customized presentation and pace. Diagnostic, adaptive assessments are embedded within each lesson to assess mastery in a fluid, transparent way that doesn’t create anxiety for students. As a student progresses through the system, his pace is determined by how quickly he demonstrates mastery of a concept, thus pace varies across learners.
DreamBox’s Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ Engine Revolutionizes How Students Learn Math
To accelerate student learning, DreamBox combines three essential elements: a rigorous curriculum, motivating learning environments, and its truly intelligent and adaptive engine.
With the power to deliver millions of individualized learning paths, DreamBox can tailor every math lesson to meet a student’s unique needs in their optimal learning zone. Its Pre-K to Grade 5 math curriculum effectively teaches the Common Core State Standards, and provides comprehensive reporting tools for teachers and administrators that track student proficiency and progress against the CCSS, TEKS, SOL, WNCP and Ontario Curriculum.
DreamBox can adapt the level of difficulty, scaffolding, sequencing, and the number of hints, the pacing—all in real-time—allowing students of all levels to progress at a pace that suits them. Learning happens within two immersive, fun environments (primary and intermediate) that personalize learning with games and themes that turn lessons into adventures. In addition, students show their work with unique virtual manipulatives, encouraging them to explain, discuss, and defend their mathematical thinking.
