LangChain:
Science Diagnostic Tool for Teachers

The teacher either:

• Select a topic and the Agent generates 5 problems for that particular question, or

• Enter their own question, if they have one

The program will ask teachers to enter students' responses to give feedback.

The agent provides:

• Diagnosis - the initial diagnosis of the student's understanding, whether the student's answer is missing anything. 

• Feedback - a feedback written in the teacher's tone, very kind and encouraging.

• Micro-activity - an extension of the question with some small hands-on projects that the student can try out themselves to deepen their understanding of the topic.

• Teacher note - tailored instructional advice to this specific student.

• Clarifying questions and answers - gives a follow-up question that the teacher can give to the student to clarify the student's current understanding.

  • Mastery check - provides a series of information:

    • The clarifying question,

    • They expected key points in the student's response, and

    • Common wrong signals that the teacher needs to be aware of.

• Then the tool prompts the teacher to enter student response to the follow-up question.

The agent gives the student a final feedback, considering both questions and answers from round 1 and round 2, to reach a final conclusion about the student's current knowledge and lack of understanding.

It also provides a micro-activity, as well as a teacher's note, focused on these overall insights.
