Abstract
This research aims to present a Fuzzy Expert System with psychologist expertise that seeks to assist professors, researchers and educational institutions in assessing the level of incorporation of students' Soft Skills while attending Active Learning sessions. The difficulties encountered by higher education institutions, researchers and professors in evaluating subjective and behavioral components, such as Soft Skills, was one of the problems that motivated the undertaking of this research. The theoretical framework on which this work is based includes the development and evaluation of Soft Skills in students, some concepts and characteristics about Active Learning and the main attributes and properties of Fuzzy Logic. This research is of an exploratory applied nature, a qualitative and quantitative approach is proposed, in which the methodological triangulation between the bibliographic analysis, the case study and the modeling and implementation of the expert system called Fuzzy Soft Skills Assessment was used to achieve the objective proposed.
期刊介绍:
IJAIED publishes papers concerned with the application of AI to education. It aims to help the development of principles for the design of computer-based learning systems. Its premise is that such principles involve the modelling and representation of relevant aspects of knowledge, before implementation or during execution, and hence require the application of AI techniques and concepts. IJAIED has a very broad notion of the scope of AI and of a ''computer-based learning system'', as indicated by the following list of topics considered to be within the scope of IJAIED: adaptive and intelligent multimedia and hypermedia systemsagent-based learning environmentsAIED and teacher educationarchitectures for AIED systemsassessment and testing of learning outcomesauthoring systems and shells for AIED systemsbayesian and statistical methodscase-based systemscognitive developmentcognitive models of problem-solvingcognitive tools for learningcomputer-assisted language learningcomputer-supported collaborative learningdialogue (argumentation, explanation, negotiation, etc.) discovery environments and microworldsdistributed learning environmentseducational roboticsembedded training systemsempirical studies to inform the design of learning environmentsenvironments to support the learning of programmingevaluation of AIED systemsformal models of components of AIED systemshelp and advice systemshuman factors and interface designinstructional design principlesinstructional planningintelligent agents on the internetintelligent courseware for computer-based trainingintelligent tutoring systemsknowledge and skill acquisitionknowledge representation for instructionmodelling metacognitive skillsmodelling pedagogical interactionsmotivationnatural language interfaces for instructional systemsnetworked learning and teaching systemsneural models applied to AIED systemsperformance support systemspractical, real-world applications of AIED systemsqualitative reasoning in simulationssituated learning and cognitive apprenticeshipsocial and cultural aspects of learningstudent modelling and cognitive diagnosissupport for knowledge building communitiessupport for networked communicationtheories of learning and conceptual changetools for administration and curriculum integrationtools for the guided exploration of information resources
