A Prompt-Engineering Approach to Develop Scalable, Flexible, and Real-Time Hybrid Micro-Level Personalization in a General Purpose AI Teaching Assistant

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a prompt‑engineering framework that personalizes large language model (LLM) teaching assistants across disciplines by tailoring responses to six learner‑specific dimensions, creating 96 distinct learner profiles. It also analyzes student queries through Bloom’s Taxonomy to gauge cognitive complexity, encoding both learner attributes and cognitive assessments into structured prompts that condition the LLM without retraining. Experiments using NLP metrics and a small human study demonstrate that this approach yields perceptible differences in response style and structure, with statistical evidence linking specific learner attributes to measurable changes.

TutorTrace: A Dataset and Taxonomy for Classifying Learner Behavioral States during AI-Assisted Programming Education

TutorTrace is a new dataset and behavioral abstraction pipeline that captures learners’ low‑level IDE telemetry to make their behavioral context visible and computable in real time. The dataset, collected across 480 students in two introductory Python courses, includes 180 K telemetry events, 13 633 behavioral segments, and 27 continuously computed metrics, and it underpins a taxonomy of learner activity before, between, and after AI queries. Preliminary classroom tests show that behavior‑aware prompts reduce the time between queries, and the system can predict upcoming queries with AUROC scores of .726 and .717 on two held‑out tasks.

EduDial: Constructing a Large-scale Multi-turn Teacher-Student Dialogue Corpus

EduDial is a large-scale multi-turn teacher‑student dialogue corpus covering 345 core knowledge points and 34,250 dialogue sessions, designed around Bloom’s taxonomy and ten questioning strategies such as situational, ZPD, and metacognitive questioning. The dataset includes differentiated teaching strategies for students at varying cognitive levels to provide targeted guidance. Using EduDial, the authors trained EduDial‑LLM 32B and introduced an 11‑dimensional evaluation framework that measures teaching quality and content quality, showing that most mainstream LLMs struggle with student‑centered teaching while EduDial‑LLM outperforms all baselines across all metrics.
