Abstract: The normalization of relational database schema is the most important trade-off between database performance and data redundancy. This is also one of the major hurdles among database beginners. This critical topic is not only challenging instructors on how to convey the knowledge correctly, but also challenging students on how to acquire the knowledge efficiently. With this concern in mind, this intelligent tutoring system is created as an additional assistance to both instructors and students. This system can be adopted as an in-class course ware or out-class tutoring system. In this paper, I presented the design and implementation philosophy of the user interface module that is empowering the intended tutoring system to push through learn-by-doing while guiding a student to normalize a relational schema from first normal form into third normal form. The synergistic effect between a tutoring system and a student is also discussed.
