Goals and Strategies of Interactive Teachers

Abstract

The paper extends our earlier analysis of teaching to the analysis of the best teachers for whom we could obtain transcripts. The analysis attempts to specify the set of goals and subgoals that guide the teachers, the set of specific strategies that the teachers use to generate cases, questions, and comments for the students, and the control structure that the teachers use to allocate their time between different goals. The theory constructed from this analysis can be applied in educating teachers to be effective, and in building intelligent CAI systems of the future.
