Abstract

Mind spark is a math Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), which provides personalized learning content, to students of grade 3 to 8, based on their response and performance in the topic. Mind spark is used in more than 100 schools in India as part of the school curriculum. In this paper, we study the impact of the adaptive logic of Mind spark on students' learning. We focus our research on the remedial module presented to the students by Mind spark when they are unable to understand the learning units and have misconceptions in the topic. The study was conducted to evaluate the impact on 199 students of grade 5 from a school, where the students use Mind spark to learn fractions. In this paper we choose four students' learning path for detailed analysis. The preliminary analysis shows that the remedial module of Mind spark helps the students to resolve their misconception and complete their learning goal.
