โฆ Synopsis
The task of modelling a student's problem solving is intrinsically one of induction. In this paper, a further instance of induction formulated as a search is reported. A formulation of this search problem which 'contains' the Combinatorics is discussed at some length ; and several heuristics which further reduce the size of the space defined by the domain ' s rules and mal-rules are presented.
The Production Rule representation of (some) arithmetic operators is given, and the behaviour of generated models with examples is included. The paper concludes with a review of the basic assumptions made by the Modelling System, LMS, and suggestions for some extensions.
