Abstract

At the Faculty of Education an investigation involving 10 of the students from the B.A. in Education courses was carried out. The purposes of this research were: 1) to find out whether the use of an expert and problem solving system would allow students to improve their rate of achievement on the theme of "derivative", and 2) to learn whether there was a difference between the final grades of the students who had finished all tasks proposed by the expert system and those who did not finish them. results demonstrated that the use of an expert and problem solving system does help to improve the students rate of achievement and also showed that in order to accomplish that students ought to be given time enough to perform all the tasks.
