Sažetak
In this paper, we present the preliminary results of testing an adaptive learning system on tablet computers developed for mathematics classes in the lower grades of primary school. The developed system consists of two parts: the mobile application for repetition and revision of math exercises, and an administrative interface, through which teachers can create new tasks, monitor students’ progress, and analyse the results of each student. The adaptivity algorithm, based on various available information, assesses the current knowledge level of each student and populates a list of next tasks with ones of appropriate difficulty. The preliminary study was conducted with a small class of third-grade students, and the results show that the adaptivity algorithm generally successfully assessed the students' knowledge level (the level which coincides with the teacher's assessment). Exceptions and border case issues are analysed in detail, and improvements to the algorithm are suggested.
