Abstract: Abstract This paper describes a framework to infer a student’s misconception from observed errors during problem solving processes. A human teacher can generate hypotheses about reasons for an error by observing a student’s problem solving process. He or she is also able to identify the student’s misconception during the verifying process of these hypotheses. Furthermore, by using these hypotheses he can generate new tasks to evaluate the student’s understanding level. In this way, appropriate instructions based on the student’s knowledge structure can be provided. To accomplish such a behavior within an ITS, we have defined a domain model and applied hypothesis- based reasoning to diagnose the student model. When the system finds an error in a student’s problem solving process, it attempts to generate hypotheses which explain that error in terms of the domain model.
