This paper therefore examines one of these possibilities by the development of Instruction Delivery Expert System for Teachers and also the need and benefits of the proposed expert system. KEYWORDS: Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), Expert System, Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Base, Inference Engine, Working Memory.
Highlights
The essence of globalization is the simplification of complex human activities by providing alternative technology
Romiszowski (1986) considers the need for instruction delivery expert system as: TOOL- Use by student to perform a task related to their course of study which is used in support of other learning/teaching activities, which in some cases becomes the integral parts of the instructional system
Inference Engine: This models human reasoning by combining problem facts contained in the working memory with rules contained in the knowledge base to infer new information (Durkin, 1994)
Summary
The essence of globalization is the simplification of complex human activities by providing alternative technology. Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) education is having a revolutionary effect on educational methodology globally This revolution is not widespread and needs to be strengthened to reach the large percentage of the population through the development of Instruction Delivery Expert System for Teachers (IDEST). Romiszowski (1986) considers the need for instruction delivery expert system as: TOOL- Use by student to perform a task related to their course of study which is used in support of other learning/teaching activities, which in some cases becomes the integral parts of the instructional system. Debate about the need to reform career structure for teachers has been on, this is the time where the teaching profession should be harness with an active knowledge-base instructor (expert system), which will deliver adequately and effectively void of other biases as to human instructors.
