Abstract:

 The boom of educational technology has resulted in an increased  number  of  systems  that  provide  adaptive  learning. These systems are used by diverse learners to identify the most appropriate learning resource. However, research into adaptive learning has  concentrated  primarily  on suggestion  for teaching material  to  be  used  in  particular  situation, and  studies  have focused on improving the technique underlying the adaptation of  learning process without focusing on the guidance of process to achieve the individual learning goal. To tackle these problems this research  proposes  an intentional  model  that  adopts  Map formalism  to  support  personalized  learning  guidance  by  an adaptive  learning system.  The  model  couples  the  learner’s intention with the learning strategies, and provides a multitude of paths between  learner  intentions.  In  fact,  based  on  the corresponding learning  mode, the  individual  learning style  and the current electronic media, the learning system can adaptively support  the  learner  to  achieve  his/her  intention  through the selected  strategy.  Preliminary  evaluation  results  shows  that  the proposed model can successfully guide the adaptive and dynamic learning process construction according to the learning situation and the learners’ preferences.
