INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEM AS A DIDACTICAL RESOURCE FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHING

Information and communication technologies provide resources to support the educational process. The present work aims to potentiate the elaboration and use of new technological tools that contribute as didactic resource in the teaching-learning process. In this perspective, with the idea of using the computer as a teaching aid tool, it is presented a prototype developed following the foundations of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). In that idea, an educational software was implemented to solve or to minimize assimilation problems of mathematical contents; wherein the students are capable to register relevant information, to do exercises and exams, to manage hints and feedback of activities, to emit reports and to visualize notes and progress. To evaluate the usability of the prototype, a questionnaire was applied to mathematics teachers, concluding the relevance of the system developed to provide a learning environment adapted to the student's needs.
