Abstract

See full text

A method of interpreting a problem statement and providing goals for solving the problem includes storing in electronic memory a plurality of goal statements, each indicating the educational purpose of a subject matter area; forming in electronic memory a semantic network by storing a plurality of key words associated with each of the goal statements; the goal statement address of each of said key words, a list of any synonyms for each of said key words, a list of any terms generic to each of said key words, and a list of any terms which are a species of said key words, each key word being given a specific address location, each of said key words, synonyms, generic and species terms being thereby interlinked to one another and to each goal statement associated therewith and for each goal statement, each key word thereof being linked to the corresponding key word in memory and to its synonyms, generic and species terms. In operation a problem statement is entered from which the key words of said statement are determined. The goal statements linked to each key word and its asssociated synonyms, generic and species terms are then located. A variety of selected information is also located, for each goal, that was linked to that goal or that was linked to key words associated to that goal.
