Abstract

In this paper we consider the role case-based reasoning has had in development of computer-aided instruction systems. We survey several case-based teaching systems, each of which is representative of a basic pedagogical principle that motivated its development. Firstly, 15 pedagogical principles are presented that were identified from the analysis of case-based teaching systems. We present some background to the principles, and indicate which systems they are incorporated in. Next, the teaching systems themselves are described, with emphasis on how case-based reasoning has been applied. Finally, we discuss some problems to be addressed when case-based planning is applied to lesson planning within a tutoring system.
