One primary benefit of an intelligent tutoring system for fostering the development of students' problem-solving skills is that such systems:
 
  a. provide individualized instruction and scaffolding for a particular set of skills.
  b. also foster student creativity and metacognitive skill at the same time.
  c. are gender-neutral and less culturally biased than teachers are.
  d. require students to complete challenging but authentic activities.

Question 2

Luke approaches you before class and expresses his frustration about having done so poorly on yesterday's exam. I studied for hours and hours, he tells you. I guess I'm just not a very good test taker. You know that your test was a good measure of what you taught your students. You also know that students seldom do poorly on your tests simply because they are poor test takers. Considering the textbook's discussion of study strategies, what other possible explanation might you give Luke as to why he thought he knew the material well yet earned a low test score. And with your explanation in mind, describe a strategy you might teach him for improving his performance next time.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Luke may have had an illusion of knowing the material: He used ineffective study strategies (e.g., rote memorization) and failed to monitor his comprehension, so he thought he knew the material better than he really did. Luke needs to develop a strategy for monitoring his comprehension
