My research is rooted in improving K-12 education through novel approaches to motivation and individualization via adaptive tutoring systems. In an attempt to isolate best practices within the science of learning, I conduct randomized controlled trials within ASSISTments, an online adaptive tutoring system that provides students with immediate feedback and teachers with powerful assessment. This paper examines two facets of my research: the optimization of feedback delivery and the provision of student autonomy. For each tenet, the basis for research is examined, contributions thus far are presented, and directions for future work are outlined.
