Arquitetura e modelos de interações cooperativas e adaptativas entre agentes humanos e artificiais no domínio de fração

Abstract

This work presents an interactive environment for learning about fractions, with mechanisms to support cooperative and adaptive interactions offered by tutors agents to human learners, focusing mainly on activities to solve problems. For this purpose, an architecture based on software agents and semantic Web services was proposed, therefore, we verify the functional viability of the proposal and, posteriorly, to present a revision of that architecture to suply some requirements not previously covered, beyond models that support to those interactions. With respect to interactions, the learner will receive support from both a pedagogical agent tutor, as some of their peers who are part of the environment. Particularly, a tutor agent has an open learner model, from which it obtains information to guide their actions. The idea of this model be opened is to allow the learner seeing the evaluation that the system hás about him, and also the opportunity to disagree with this assessment, and thus contribute to the refinement of the content of such a model.
