An Analysis of the Pedagogical Effects of Expert System Use in the Classroom
通过实验研究专家系统在生产和运营管理入门课程中的应用，发现其能增强学生学习效果，并改善学生对使用计算机决策辅助工具的看法。
An experiment that examines the use of expert systems to enhance student learning in an introductory Production and Operations Management (POM) class is discussed. An experimental expert system, SCHEDULER, was built within the domain of scheduling. It provided students with the opportunity to experience working with and integrating scheduling heuristics, constraints, and management requirements. The experiment also exposed students to using, rather than having to build, computerized decision aids, and expert systems in particular. Measurements of student learning and assessments of student perception regarding use of expert systems indicate expert systems can provide a valuable enhancement to the learning environment.
