Modelagem de um sistema multiagente de apoio à PBL utilizando a metodologia MAS-CommonKADS

Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method through which students are able to learn while solving problems that, in general, don’t have trivial solutions or just one solution. PBL favors teamwork as one of the main requirements for a successful learning process. Therefore, collaboration is essential. However, applying a teaching approach like PBL is not a trivial task. The complexity of deploying such an approach on a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is even higher, as the facilitator may not always be able to detect possible collaboration issues, or acquire all the information they may need in order to properly apply the method’s techniques. Thus, this article presents the modeling process of a Multiagent System (MAS) to support PBL. The proposed MAS was modeled using the MASCommonKADS+ methodology, consisting of an extension of the MAS-CommonKADS methodology
