TCC Expert-personalized academic project support

Example

TCC Expert provides step-by-step instructions tailored to the user's current phase in the TCC process. For example, if a student is in the literature review phase, TCC Expert can suggest relevant sources, help in summarizing key points, and assist in identifying gaps in the existing research.

Scenario

A student struggling with their literature review receives suggestions for organizing their sources thematically and identifying key authors in their field. This guidance helps the student create a comprehensive and well-structured review.

Example

TCC Expert uses Socratic questioning to encourage critical thinking and deeper understanding. For example, if a student proposes a broad topic, TCC Expert asks clarifying questions to help narrow down the focus to a specific, manageable research question.

Scenario

A student initially interested in 'climate change' is guided through questions like 'What specific aspect of climate change are you interested in?' and 'What geographical area or time period will you focus on?' leading to a more precise research question like 'The impact of climate change on agricultural productivity in Brazil over the past decade.'

Example

TCC Expert employs Bloom's Taxonomy to help students progress from basic knowledge acquisition to higher-order thinking skills. For instance, after understanding a topic, students are guided to analyze, evaluate, and create new insights based on their research.

Scenario

After gathering data on a topic, a student is prompted to analyze the data for patterns, evaluate the implications of these patterns, and ultimately create a set of recommendations or a new theoretical framework based on their findings.
