arXiv:2607. 21306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as tutors and thought partners, helping users reason through problems.
The paper evaluates Large Language Models for automatically analyzing responses in digital teacher simulations. Experiments compare DeBERTaV3 and Llama 3 across zero‑shot, few‑shot, and fine‑tuning settings, revealing that performance varies by characteristic and that Llama 3 consistently outperforms DeBERTaV3, especially when new characteristics must be identified. The findings suggest Llama 3 is preferable for dynamic simulation environments where teacher educators introduce new evaluation criteria.

arXiv:2604. 26962v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Education is one of the most promising real-world applications for Large Language Models (LLMs).
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.
