This article begins with an overview of the main components of an intelligent tutoring system. Then it summarizes the different types of intelligent tutoring systems and discusses in detail the student model and teaching module as well as the future development direction.
Intelligent tutoring systems have been shown to be effective in improving student performance and motivation. For example, students using Smitihtown, an ITS for economics, perform just as well as students taking traditional menstrual blood courses, but using only the half time.
In the student model section, the intelligent assistance system stores personal learning materials belonging to each student, and records the performance of students every minute. The good and bad information is collected so that teachers can make better adjustments to students’ progress. Under the teaching module, This component provides a model of the teaching process. For example, information about when to review, when to present a new topic, And which topic to present is controlled by the pedagogical module. As mentioned earlier, the student model is used As input to this component. So the pedagogical decisions reflect the differing needs of each student.
Learning aid systems can also provide real-world simulations to help students learn. An example of a simulation-based ITS is the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Tutor in which a student takes the role of team leader in providing emergency Life Support for patients who have “Had heart attacks.” also, smart assort systems emphasize communication and presentation systems to ensure student learning outcomes.
It can be seen in this article that AI has played a great role in teaching, which can indeed help students to learn better, help teachers to reduce workload and help students to make progress faster and more efficiently. But it also mentions some of AI’s current problems, such as long development time and relatively complex operation. This is the place where in the future in the popularization of AI education need to be focused on.

Hi, Huayin! Your article is a great scaffolding for me to see the pros and cons of AI at the same time. As you said, if teachers can properly use AI in the classroom, then it will assist teachers in teaching and help students to improve their interest in the show, so as to improve their performance.
