RT Conference Proceedings T1 Learning to teach database design by trial and error A1 Iglesias Maqueda, Ana María A1 Martínez Fernández, Paloma A1 Cuadra Fernández, María Dolores A1 Castro Galán, Elena A1 Fernández, Fernando AB The definition of effective pedagogical strategies for coaching and tutoring students according to their needs in each moment is a high handicap in ITS design. In this paper we propose the use of a Reinforcement Learning (RL) model, that allows the system to learn how to teach to each student individually, only based on the acquired experience with other learners with similar characteristics, like a human tutor does. This technique avoids to define the teaching strategies by learning action policies that define what, when and how to teach. The model is applied to a database design ITS system, used as an example to illustrate all the concepts managed in the model.
