Tutors Should Fade Their Help
Hypothesis: tutors that deliberately withdraw hints as competence rises will produce better unaided transfer than equally accurate tutors that remain maximally helpful. Test adaptive fading across subjects with delayed assessments, while tracking frustration, equity, and whether students learn to request appropriate help.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
Self-regulation trials provide a design basis for adaptive support; experimental syntheses make delayed, subject-specific comparison feasible.
