The design of a diagnosis system for problem posing

In this paper, a diagnosis system for problem posing is developed. The domain of this system is restricted to area word problems. The student poses the problems through the system with phrase combination approach. Then the system diagnoses the problem and provides the information for students to revise the posed problem, if needed. The system uses an ontology-based knowledge engineering tool, InfoMap, to represent the concept knowledge for diagnosing area word problems posed by students.
