Abstract
The aim of the study is to draw attention to the importance of using web-based intelligent tutoring systems (WBITS), which have emerged as a result of artificial neural networks and technological developments (communication technology), in the teaching of physics subjects. A WBITS is an intelligent tutoring system that exhibits behavior similar to that of a teacher in the traditional educational process (classroom education), offers a flexible teaching process, defined according to user preferences, and adaptable for a specific purpose. WBITSs make important contributions to distance education and classroom education processes, because they can be used online and offline. The importance of using WBITSs in teaching physics at undergraduate level was subsumed under five headings: i). Developments in technology and artificial neural networks and the interest of young people in technology have made it important to use WBITSs in undergraduate physics education. ii) The use of WBITSs has become important in following scientific developments in traditional (classroom) physics education and eliminating problems related to individual perception capacity and insufficient class hours. iii). Online (remote) access to physics subjects via WBITSs contributes to equality of opportunity in education. iv). More time can be devoted to practice and the discussion of deeper (advanced) subjects in the classroom when basic physics subjects are taught at undergraduate (university) level using WBITSs. v). Limitations in distance physics education can be reduced using WBITSs.
Highlights
The Intelligent tutoring process used in teaching physics subjects with programmed instruction is shown in the diagram 1 below
Web-based Intelligent Tutoring System (WBITS) create opportunities to provide learners with advanced information about scientific and technological developments related to physics subjects
The content of basic physics subjects at undergraduate level is presented to learners using WBITSs so that current issues related to technological developments can be addressed during classroom educational processes
Summary
Technological tools and education) intelligent tutoring systems (ITS). It means accessing course contents, prepared using offline (nonsynchronous) ITS, via the internet. Developments in computer and communication technology have created new opportunities for distance education; the use of web- and computer-based education systems in distance education has become widespread. New systems have been designed and tested in distance education in parallel with technical and social developments throughout history [3]. Moore and Kearsley [4] subsume distance education under five categories in line with technological developments as follows: by letter, radio and television, open universities, teleconference, and internet/web-based education. The subsets of internet-based distance education consist of e-learning, online learning, internet/web-based education, and computer-based learning [5]
