Abstract

Appropriate use of computer technology in the learning process has been lacking and many web-based and standalone tutorial systems in today’s market-place do not provide material that teaches students in an enjoyable and effective way. The Mathematical Tutoring System (MTS) is one which provides direct customized feedback to students. It also guides and monitors student progress. Our aim is to design an instructional planner for an intelligent tutoring system. We use the combined approach of Fuzzy logic and Multiagent System (MAS). The fuzzy logic determines the next level (objective) to be presented to the student based on the current and past performance of the objectives. The Multiagent system on the other hand decides the set of activities to be presented in the objective. The educational objective of the MTS presented in our work is the number concept and the objectives of Problems in primary education curriculum.
