Forecasting, Volume 6, Issue 1

2024 March - 13 articles

Cover Story: Forecasting is important for decision making. At present, forecast training is mainly provided through online content-based or face-to-face instructor-led courses. As an alternative, intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) can provide one-on-one online computer-based learning support that is adaptable to the knowledge, strengths, and needs of each individual student. In this work, we develop a constraint-based tutor to support learning of classical time series decomposition and name it FITS (forecasting intelligent tutoring system). Through a combination of a literature review, an analysis of think-aloud protocols, and expert opinion, we propose best practice for designing such systems. Results of a small sample pilot study show FITS can be used to improve learning and develop a deeper understanding of knowledge acquisition in forecasting. View this paper
