Exploring the Effectiveness of Using LLMs for Automated Assessment of Student Self Explanations in Programming Education

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.21614v1 Announce Type: cross Worked examples are step-by-step solutions to problems in a specific domain, offered to students to acquire domain-specific problem-solving skills. The effectiveness of worked examples could be enhanced by combining them with self-explanations, which ask students to explain rather than passively study each problem-solving step. The main challenge of this approach is assessing the correctness of the student's explanations.
