Currently in computer assisted instruction systems a
number of problems are presented to each student during a
problem session and each individual problem is specified by
the author of the session. A better approach might be to
provide the author with a language in which he can describe
the general type of problem he wants his students to be
taught and let the machine generate the specific problems.
This would relieve the teacher of the task of writing out
a whole series of problems for each general concept he wishes to teach. This thesis presents a subset of English and
mathematical notation which the teacher can use to describe
a general problem type. The PROBLEM DESCRIPTION PROCESSOR
accepts the general problem description and produces a low
level language which is used by the PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
INTERPRETER to produce specific problems. This system works
for fourth grade arithmetic problems and could be extended
for use in other areas of instruction.
