Edu-Theater: A Data-Efficient Agent Framework for Scalable Learner Behavior Simulation through Staging Roll-Call
arXiv:2606.15225v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large-scale learner-task interaction data are crucial for intelligent educational systems but are costly to collect and constrained by privacy and learner engagement. Learner simulators play a critical role in simulating scalable learner behavior without the need for continuous involvement of real learners. However, existing methods are predominantly \textbf{individual-centric}, pairing a simulator with each learner to iteratively infer latent knowledge states from dense interaction histories, which is both data- and computation-intensive, and
The increasing scarcity and cost of large-scale, high-quality interaction data for intelligent educational systems necessitates new approaches to simulation and data efficiency.
This research offers a potential pathway to significantly reduce the data and computational burdens associated with developing and deploying intelligent educational AI, making such systems more scalable and accessible.
The shift from individual-centric to more aggregated, 'staging roll-call' simulation methods reduces the direct dependency on continuous real-learner involvement for training educational AI models.
